Frank (Leonardo DeCaprio) and April (Kate Winslet) Wheeler are a young married couple who recently moved to the suburbs of Connecticut to raise their two children. They quickly find themselves unsatisfied with their new quiet life and develop a random urge to move to Paris to continue their lives. Although April is very adamant about the change of scenery, Frank's desire to relocate gradually declines when he get's an opportunity to move up in the rankings at his place of work. As their opinions on moving to Europe begin to drift apart, Frank and April fall into a sea of arguments and begin to wonder if they are the right person for one another.
