FAREWELL TO MARRIAGE
Leila and Kiko have been together for far too long, or so it seems... Very young parents, with a daughter who has just turned 18, they have long since fallen into a fatal routine and quarrelled over a few things. So they decide to give their relationship an ultimatum: to try one last adventure to rekindle the flame over a whole weekend for the two of them, locked away in one of those suburban motels - with only each other to look forward to? and a past of accumulated frustrations.
Leila is a lawyer with a desire to be an influencer, Kiko a PE teacher who despises social media. She brings sex toys, provocative lingerie and a little drug to take their minds off things, he brings an arsenal of unfulfilled fantasies, the fear of being intellectually inferior to his wife, and doubts about her past that he has never been able - or had the courage - to clear up.
Together, in the confined space of those 4 erotic walls, with their mirrors and pole, round bed and private compartments, occasionally breaking the 4th wall to let off steam to the audience, they will take the audience on an intense journey that will go from role-playing to ménage, from empty nest to free pass, from swing to mid-life crisis, from mobile phone passwords to doubts about the happy-end.
Will they really end it all once and for all or is it still worth fighting for love when the passion is long gone?
