1) No-one is what they promise in the beginning of a relationship. 2) A relationship is all about accepting yourself and the other. 3) Dishonesty and false roles lead to conflict and misunderstandings.
The film studies the western heteronormative relationship, the catalog of romantic love and it’s representations. Constructing Marriage turns the structure of the original work up-side down: the comical intermission piece Pimpinone (1725) by G. P. Telemann takes the main part and G. F. Händel’s Tamerlano shrinks to interludes.
Thus: how to construct a marriage?
