Ex is a light choral comedy divided into episodes that intertwine and revolve around the issues arising from the end of a love affair. Ex’s are like the Phoenix rising from the ashes... they never die! They lie in waiting, ready to change your life. Some relationships turn into hatred, others into friendships, for others instead the flame of love is still burning. Some you have lost sight of by choice, others by a bizarre twist of fate, others by mistake. However they are all part of your life. If today you are who you are, it’s also because of your ex’s. The film begins with many declarations of love and lots of kisses… But then, will love continue? Did they indeed live happily ever after?
