Synopsis by Dan Pavlides
This romantic comedy finds a married couple whose sex life is not what it used to be. When the woman sees her husband referee a hockey game, she is stirred by his authoritarian demeanor. She sees him meeting with and kissing a strange woman which only adds to her renewed affections. She has an affair with her gynecologist who puts her in touch with her own heightened sexuality. The husband takes comfort in the arms of his mistress, using the guise of work to leave home. The married couple reunite with a new commitment and a revival of their sexual appreciation for each other. The title refers to the year the film was made.
