Is love merely a one-word cliché?
Demitasse Divorce is a deep existential and erotic love story that breaks our sense of convention and a few
taboos about marriage, sexuality, and "infidelity." The setting is the majestic mid-Hudson Valley circa 1992. The story is
centered on Elia and Anais, two baby boomers fast approaching middle age, as they attempt to regain their passions and sexuality
lost via their failed marriages. Now freed from the responsibilities of parenthood and the obligations of marriage, both are now
on a quest to replace their sexual fantasies and regrets with sexual realities. Elia is a gentleman, sophisticated architect,
existentialist and spiritual moralist, who stumbles across Anais by some act of synchronicity. Anais is Elia's muse and
counterpart being an agnostic, hedonist, and actress. Both find themselves drawn together in a hot and uninhibited affair as
they attempt to find harmony in the analogy of their opposites. In their attempt to free themselves from the conventions and
taboos of the adolescent bourgeoisie sexual mores, they eventually find themselves shackled to an inescapable mutual love they
never anticipated and equally fear - it's a love they are no longer able to navigate.
