Synopsis
A traditional couple from southern India, Balu and Janaki Shankar are in their late fifties and have been married for 26 years in reasonable harmony. They go to visit their son, their first trip to Great Britain, but he is unable to take time off from work to spend with them and instead sends them on a 16-day bus tour across Europe. During a two-night stop in Amsterdam at the beginning of their trip, Balu experiences something that leads to a sexual reawakening for him-a newly discovered sexual appetite for his wife-which just may be the beginning of the end of this typical couple's marriage.

"A warm, intimate, subtle, funny and utterly believable portrait of a marriage."
Synopsis
This is the hilarious story of the disintegration of a marriage - which like a piece of knitting unravels just one stitch at a time. Balu and Janaki Shankar are a typical, traditional, South Indian couple in their late fifties who have been married for twenty-six years in reasonable harmony. Balu Shankar has dominated the marriage without any serious challenge from his wife. On their first ever trip to Britain their son is too busy to take time off from work to show them around and so books his parents on a 16-day coach tour of Europe. A two-night stop in Amsterdam at the start of the tour leaves Balu struggling with an appetite for newly discovered sexual possibilities - with his wife Janaki. The Uncoupling, tracks the disintegration of the Shankars' marriage as their coach tour hurtles around Europe.
