Synopsis by Mark Deming

An unhappy couple gets some unexpected inspiration to spice up their marriage in this short comedy from Swedish filmmaker Patrik Eklund. Rolf (Jacob Nordenson) and Eva (Anki Larsson) are a middle-aged couple whose marriage has gone into a slump; they don't communicate well, and they've lost interest in sex. One evening, Eva tries to persuade Rolf to make love to her; he isn't interested, and as they argue, a piece of farm machinery crashes through the wall and into their bedroom. The incident causes Rolf and Eva to be introduced to the young couple who've moved in next door (and lost their cat to the runaway vehicle), and before long someone proposes an idea to make their lives a bit more interesting. Slitage (aka Seeds Of The Fall) was an official selection at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival.
