Fair Play is the type of love story that is rarely told, a revelatory depiction of contentment, hard-won and exhilarating. Mari is a writer and Jonna is an artist, and they live at opposite ends of a big apartment building, their studios connected by a long attic passageway. They have argued, worked, and laughed together for decades. Yet they{u2019}ve never really stopped taking each other by surprise. Fair Play shows us Mari and Jona{u2019}s intertwined lives as they watch Fassbinder films and Westerns, critique each other{u2019}s work, spend time on a solitary island (recognizable to readers of Jansson{u2019}s The Summer Book), travel through the American Southwest, and turn life into nothing less than art.
