Ruth, a young researcher in a university, attends the weddings of her ex-boyfriends who were the 'men of her life' at one stage, but without finding the soul mate she is looking for. Is there something bad about your ex getting married and inviting you to the wedding? Yes, if it happens to you three times in a month, and you don't know how to say no, and if the only person who is persuading you to go is the new man in your life.
