Individually divorced and disillusioned, Jens and Karen meet and are drawn towards each other, but how does one go about courtship in a natural way, let alone a tangible relationship, in a time and age of general wisdom on every bookshelf? Surrounded by marital misfits and ex-partners, Jens and Karen give love a half-chance nonetheless.
