Synopsis

BREAKING UPWARDS follows a young, real-life New York couple in a fictional narrative loosely inspired by their open relationship. After four years together, the two feel stifled in their relationship and though longing to escape are fearful of life apart. They decide to intricately strategize their own break up.

Based on an actual experiment in real-life devised by filmmakers and partners, Daryl Wein and Zoe Lister-Jones, the film interprets a year in their lives exploring alternatives to monogamy, and the craziness that ensues.
