According to Fernanda,
I made “Here’s the plan” because I felt the need to see on screen a couple depicted as a team. Partners and not rivals. Equals and with value, not one superior to the other. Helping each other to be the best persons they can be.
If you haven’t had a chance to watch the film, this is the best time to check it out.
