Yours, Mine & Ours

"So it has come to this..." is certainly the most common closing thought of three couples of different generations who each find themselves facing new challenges in life. Marija and Štefan are pensioners who often almost kill each other out of boredom. Darja and Tomaž are a middle-aged couple whose only son went to study abroad. Nika and Matic are a young couple who have just started their journey together. Nika is dominant and very disciplined, while Matic is a dreamer and an artistic soul. Which, of course, is the reason for many arguments.
