Overview

After 15 years of marriage, David and Marianne have grown apart. David has had an affair with a patient of his and Marianne has got herself involved with her former lover Carl-Adam, who's also David's best friend. When she travels to Copenhagen to meet Carl-Adam, David takes the same train as she does, making it look coincidental. Spending time together remembering their past and talking about their future, they come to understand each other again, which leads to a reconciliation.

00:00:13 A LESSON IN LOVE

00:04:09 we divorced when I met a young man

00:07:11 I wanted to meet you.

00:10:10 Go, Susanne, go and leave me in peace.

00:13:16 It's the delicate memories that remain. Yes, what a summer...

00:16:55 I often go by car, but it's being serviced.

00:21:56 - Tell me what you're up to. - Tax and I have gone on our way.

00:26:22 You mean that Mum also has what you call "love-play"?

00:31:05 over our hearts and confidence.

00:34:15 - So, you're still on the train? - Yes.

00:38:53 Excuse me a moment.

00:42:02 Well... What is love anyway?

00:46:56 What are you saying? The wedding has started.

00:50:29 - But we love each other. - Which "we"?

00:53:34 I've been like a father all these years!

00:58:02 Well... So there's not much to be done about it, then.

01:02:24 No, it's not. It's the Phantom chasing werewolves in the jungle.

01:05:39 - So, everyone is happy. - Well, let's go.

01:08:28 Everything has a beginning, a development, a conclusion.

01:13:28 No one is as beautiful as you. I mean it.

01:17:15 Always you! I didn't have the ruthlessness, but you taught me.

01:20:56 Return, return, my fine brother... Marianne can decide.

01:24:56 I see... Really?

01:31:10 DO NOT DISTURB!
