The plot centers on a charismatic radio talk show host, Tom Avery (Bruce Greenwood), and his "mermaid researcher" girlfriend Fay (Emilia Fox). Tom has had a turbulent past with relationships and has had three divorces before the age of 40. Many of Tom's ex-wives turn out to be friends of Fay's. Fay is the opposite from Tom and has an overly high expectation of the men she dates; she expects perfection and wants to emulate her parents' rock-solid marriage. One day, it turns out that Fay's parents' marriage is not as perfect as it seemed and it breaks down suddenly, after 40 years of "wedded bliss". Fay panics and feels insecure in her own relationship and forces Tom to go to great efforts to convince the woman who has become his fiancée that their relationship is different and that they are meant for each other.

Mettant en perspective pointilliste l'histoire collective de haine recuite entre peuples, plus particulièrement le génocide arménien en 1915 et l'exil qui a suivi, mais aussi la situation actuelle qui forme des fantômes même pour les destins individuels des générations contemporaines et vivant ailleurs par le truchement d'une famille spécialiste de l'image. Cette histoire est à plusieurs tiroirs et vignettes, notamment pour montrer la difficulté de reconstituer une mémoire que l'on n'a pas pu imposer et d'intégrer la complexité d'une situation par différents points de vue.
