PARADE

by Titas Laucius

synopsis

Some things in life are eternal. Marriage generally isn't. Migle, who married when she was very young, has for 26 years been divorced from her ex-husband who one day calls her and asks for a favour. He has found that it would be a good time to get married again after the death of his mother. But there is a small problem: their divorce is valid only in the eyes of the law, because a Catholic marriage cannot be divorced. It can, however, be annulled. All that needs to be done is to complete an application and give the "Catholic court" a good reason. As Migle herself has married again and has, in addition to a daughter from the first marriage, given birth to her second child, the ex-husband's proposal seems entirely reasonable. She does not know that she is about to find herself in situations where she has to give priests details of her decades-past sex life and cheating attempts and how drunk she or her ex were during the wedding ceremony. In the midst of the dizzying absurdity of the situation, Migle suddenly realises that she is closer to her ex-husband than ever before.
