After their amicable divorce, Alex and Tess try to maintain respect and a connection for the sake of their children, but their new lives turn out to be far more complicated than they expected. Alex finds an outlet in stand-up comedy, not immediately realizing that the stage demands honesty not only toward the audience but also toward himself. Tess, for her part, is redefining her boundaries, allowing herself for the first time to think about what she wants—not as a wife and mother, but as an individual. Their shared past, their new roles, and their attempt to maintain their humanity amid comical and painful circumstances form the core of this personal story.
