action

Brian Bloom, a 24-year-old New York City writer, meets a 33-year-old French woman named Arielle Pierpoint. They are drawn to each other and after the second meeting, Arielle reveals that she is married to the diplomat Valéry and has two young children. They have an agreement that anyone can have extramarital affairs between 5pm and 7pm on weekdays, as long as they are limited to that. Brian is perplexed by the information and tells Arielle that he cannot continue the relationship because he believes it is unethical. Arielle says that if he changes his mind, he should come to the place where they met.

After three weeks, Brian decides to meet up with Arielle again. She gives him a hotel key. From this point on they meet more often in this hotel room. Valéry, who knows about the relationship, approaches him on the street and invites Brian to dinner. Here he also meets the children of Arielle and Valéry and Valéry's lover, a 25-year-old journalist named Jane. Arielle later meets Brian's parents, Sam and Arlene. When Sam learns that Arielle is a married mother with two children, he tells Brian that he doesn't think the relationship is good. Arlene accepts them. When Brian is invited to a gala by The New Yorker to receive an award for a short story, Arielle, Valéry, Jane, and his parents join him. Jane tells Brian that her boss Galassi, a publisher, has read his story and wants Brian to write a novel.

Brian meets Arielle at the hotel, asks her to marry him and gives her a ring. Brian confesses to her that he is really in love with her, Arielle accepts his proposal and tells him that they will meet at the hotel the next day. Valéry then shows up in Brian's apartment the following night. He beats Brian and expresses his anger over Brian breaking the rules of open marriage. He gives Brian a check for $ 250,000 to give Arielle the life she deserves. The next day the hotel porter gives Brian a letter from Arielle in which she explains that although she loves him very much, she cannot leave her husband and children and asks him not to contact her again.

Jane later ends the relationship with Valéry because it betrays her friendship with Brian. Galassi then publishes Brian's first novel. After a few years, Brian walks down a street with his wife Kiva and their two year old son. In front of the Guggenheim they meet Arielle, Valéry and their now young children. Valéry asks about Jane and Brian says that he is now married. Arielle shows him the ring she is wearing.

Anton Yelchin and Bérénice Marlohe play the leading roles.

The story was inspired by a couple Victor Levin met in France in 1987. The couple had an open marriage . Each of the spouses had a lover and, according to Levin, "they were all terribly civilized with the arrangement". After the meeting, he rejected the idea. After giving birth to his children in the early 2000s, he conceived an entire plot. Levin wrote the first draft of the story in March 2007. His agent at William Morris Endeavor introduced it to Julie Lynn , who read the script and agreed to produce it. In 2011, Lynn worked with Bonnie Curtis , who became the producer on the film. The project took seven years to find suitable actors. The budget was primarily provided by Demarest Films with additional funding from private investors such as Sam Englebardt, David Greathouse and Bill Johnson.

Filming was supposed to start in February 2013, but was postponed until May. The film was shot by Arnaud Potier on an Arri Alexa camera in CinemaScope widescreen format. Filming took place mainly in the Upper East Side of New York City . Particular film locations were the Carlyle Hotel, the St. Regis Hotel, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum , Fifth Avenue , the Grand Army Plaza, the Le Charlot Restaurant and the Crawford Doyle Booksellers. The only significant filming location outside of the Upper East Side was Brian's apartment on 30th Street in Midtown Manhattan .
