After 65 years of marriage Hans and Kerstin still cannot agree on wallpaper. One day, behind Kerstin's back, Hans hangs a hideous pattern of flowers and birds to enhance a feature wall in their summer house. This seemingly innocuous décor decision puts their relationship to the test and exposes the secret of their long-lasting union-change. Adaptation to change is a key ingredient to their partnership and its longevity. Paradise is a powerful and loving portrait of an old married couple-bright, funny, touching and provocative. The pair's bickering, battles and concessions colour an image of honest affection that reminds us how we often mistreat and take for granted those we cherish most.
-Angie Driscoll
