Workaholic architect Mark Wallace (Albert Finney) and his wife Jo (Audrey Hepburn) are unhappily married. The movie flashes backwards and forwards throughout their decade long relationship. They first met on the boat in France when he was backpacking and she was with a girls singing group. While everybody else gets chicken pox, Jo is immune and hitchhikes with Mark. In the present, they drive south to Saint-Tropez and struggle to maintain their crumbling relationship as they recall their past journeys.
I wish the movie catches the couple fighting in the present day. They have essentially given up and leaves the movie with a depressed feeling. It never really shakes that sense of depression. They need to fight because at least that means that they still care. The overall sense is that they stop caring and that's not a great starting point. The two leads are wonderful and this is a very adult relationship.
