When the Lights Go Out
A simple story about a married couple getting divorced.
At the moment of finalizing the divorce, they yearn for each other, and discover-in a moment of regret-that problems are the key to creating a good relationship, so they decide to quarrel so that their relationship returns to better than it was.
In a lyrical musical context, the film uncovers the complexities of marriage in a smooth manner with songs that reach the climax with the assurance of their love and return to each other despite all complications.
Between dances and songs in an epic orchestra, the couple sing about simple modern marriage problems revealing secrets of their relationship at their classical apartment that carries the elements of magical realism.
