Je tiens d'une main tremblante les quelques notes écrites par mon mari. Ma vision se brouille. Seuls cinq petits mots émergent de ce trouble : « je te dois la vérité. »  Lorsque Ellen entraîne son mari Robert dans un séjour à Malaga, répondant à l'invitation de leur amie d'université Lucy, elle imagine que cela leur permettra de resserrer les liens de leur couple. D'avoir du temps à eux. Mais elle constate le contraire. Robert est de plus en plus distant tandis que Lucy se comporte de façon très troublante. Il semble lui cacher des choses, peut-être une relation ? Mais elle sait que si elle oblige Robert à parler, elle devra elle-même dire ce qu'elle cache depuis des années... Et si ce voyage idyllique en Espagne signait la fin de leur mariage ?
