Overview

Their 20th wedding anniversary is coming up and Liane and Ben want to celebrate it together in Lisbon. In the years of their marriage, the two have had little of each other. While Liane took care of the children and the household, architect Ben jetted around the world building luxury hotels. Now the children are out of the house and the couple want to spend more time together again. So much for the theory. In reality, Ben is stuck on a project in Morocco and can't pick up his wife at the airport in Lisbon. He has sent his friend, the Portuguese João, as a replacement. He takes his role very seriously and Liane obviously takes a liking to the new man at her side.
