"The Happiest Couple" is a day in the life of a couple trapped in a self-destructive cycle because it's the only love they know.

Jacob's (84) life is based on rituals; waking up with his favorite music and doing jigsaw puzzles until dawn. He thinks he's perfectly capable of living on his own but his children think otherwise, his fragile body and confused mind increasingly let him down. With great sadness and under protest Jacob leaves his old life behind to discover that living in a nursing home is not so bad at all.
