SYNOPSIS

After eighteen years of marriage, Alice finds herself
 confronted with the fact that her husband Frank feels
 more and more attracted to men. Not only Frank,
 but also she and their three children undergo an
 irreversible change. The film uses simple scenes to
 tell of everyday family life - unspectacular, subtle and
 humane, sometimes sad, sometimes sanguine.

PROGRAM NOTE

There is a couple married for eighteen years with
 three children. What if the husband falls in love with
 another guy? The story begins as the couple moves
 to a new place. A family-oriented husband, Frank
 and his wife, a working mother, Alice enjoy their
 conjugal relationship. One day, Alice finds a website
 about gay on their computer and asks her husband
 and son about it, then Frank says he searched
 it out of curiosity. Since the incident, some other
 circumstances are found, and he eventually confides
 that he loves a man. This film doesn\'t focus on his new
 male lover or their beginning, but the family and the
 marriage life sustained for eighteen years and how the
 wife and children cope with the tremendous change.
 Hence What\'s between Us is not a coming-out story
 but a family melodrama or a post family melodrama. It
 begins with a new family home they moved in together
 and ends with a home without a father. Home is a
 community of the people that have affection to each
 other, after all. Ursina LARDI from The White Ribbon
 (2009) portrays Alice, the wife who reconciles herself
 to unsought farewell. [Sunah KIM]
