Part 2/9:
The film kicks off on an unsettling note as we meet Nick Dunn, a seemingly disconnected man in his 40s, who finds himself in a loveless marriage with his wife, Amy. On what should have been a joyful fifth wedding anniversary, Nick's lack of interest in celebrating with Amy becomes glaringly evident when he chooses to spend the day at a bar instead. This behavior introduces a troubling dichotomy between the couple’s perceived happiness and their actual discontent.
