The Proposal
Overview
The story focuses on a married couple who have lived together for over twenty years. They share a home, a child, and a seemingly orderly daily life. Yet, over the years, silences and unspoken feelings have accumulated between them. When their new upstairs neighbors—who are open about their non-monogamous relationship—arrive for dinner, an ordinary evening takes an unexpected turn. In the course of a single night, everything that has been left unsaid for years comes to light, leaving one final question: after everything they have been through, can these two people still choose each other?
