Add to a movie list5x2 (also Cinq fois deux; English: Five Times Two) is a 2004 French film directed by François Ozon, which uncovers the back story to the gradual disintegration of a middle class marriage by depicting five key moments in the relationship, but in reverse order.
Synopsis
A young married couple, Gilles and Marion, sit in an office while they listen to a lawyer read out the formal terms of their separation, after which they book a hotel room together. The plot then travels backwards chronologically, with the following chapter focusing on a tense dinner party the couple hosted for Gilles’ brother and his boyfriend some time previously, at which Gilles appears to admit to infidelity, before moving back again to the point at the birth of their son, which Gilles manages to miss by several hours, leaving Marion’s parents as the only family with her in the hospital. The film then reverts to their wedding day, before ending with scenes at the Italian beach resort where, already acquaintances from work, they ran into each other by chance and first began their relationship.Actors

Katie, une femme ordinaire élevant seule sa fille de sept ans Lisa et travaillant comme ouvrière sur une chaîne de montage dans une usine chimique, rencontre sur son lieu de travail Paco avec qui elle vit une histoire d'amour. Paco s'installe dans le modeste appartement HLM de banlieue de Katie. De cette union naît un bébé, Ricky, conçu lors d'un rapport sexuel dans les toilettes de l'usine chimique. Katie s'inquiète des ecchymoses qui apparaissent sur le dos de son nourrisson et suspecte Paco de le frapper, si bien que ce dernier outragé quitte le domicile familial. Ricky est en fait être un bébé extraordinaire (ange ou monstre ?) avec des ailes qui lui poussent dans le dos. Finalement le bébé prend son envol, et les médias voyeuristes s'emparent de cette attraction lorsque Ricky voltige dans un supermarché. Paco convainc Katie de montrer le bébé volant à la presse pour relâcher la pression médiatique et gagner de l'argent qui leur permettrait d'acheter une maison plus grande pour le bébé. Ricky profite de l'occasion pour s'envoler au-dessus d'un lac. Croyant l'enfant perdu, Paco se résigne mais Katie, désespérée, retourne au lac pour se suicider. Ricky réapparaît quelques instants, le visage heureux tel un ange, pour rassurer sa mère mais doit à nouveau s'envoler car il n'a pas sa place dans cette société. Ricky se révèle ainsi l’être transitionnel permettant à Lisa d’accepter son beau-père et à Katie, toujours dans la crainte de ne pas être à la hauteur, de devenir une mère et une femme heureuse dans son corps et son esprit, comme le montre la scène finale dans laquelle Lisa se blottit dans le dos de Paco et Katie, sereine, est enceinte d'un nouveau bébé.
