"Celeste & Jesse Forever" is about two
people who met in high school, married young and are growing apart. Now
thirty, they decide to get divorced and attempt to stay best friends
while pursuing other relationships. This plan is not as simple as they
had imagined. Celeste--imperious, successful and driven--is convinced
that divorcing the boyish Jesse is the right thing to do. Jesse
passively accepts this transition into friendship, even though he still
is in love with her. As the reality of their separation sets in, Celeste
slowly and painfully realizes she has been cavalier about their
relationship. But her timing with Jesse is less than fortuitous. While
navigating the turbulent changes in their lives and in their hearts,
these two learn that in order to truly love someone, you may have to let
them go. The film is a humorous and honest examination of a broken
heart and the long, hard road it takes to heal it.download
