A man pressured by his family to marry hastily to calm his elderly grandfather's rising blood pressure reveals he has no love for his new wife and is already planning a divorce after the cooling-off period. His wife, who is unemployed and borrowing clothes for job interviews, suggests delaying the divorce to ease his grandfather’s worries by pretending they remain married. They agree to hold off on legal separation for now, hoping to improve the grandfather’s health. The man promises to help her in return, setting the stage for an uneasy alliance with uncertain motives.
