Carlo and Elisa are a successful couple. He’s a university professor and writer facing a creative block; she’s a brilliant, sharp-witted journalist, known for her internationally published editorials. In search of new energy in their relationship, they travel to Morocco with their lifelong friends, Anna and Paolo. Tensions soon rise and then there’s Blu, Carlos's 23-year-old philosophy student and his lover for the past year. She’s there too. By chance, or by choice.
