Intermezzo follows two brothers, Ivan and Peter, in the year following the death of their father. Ivan is a 22-year-old socially awkward competitive chess player, while Peter is in his 30s and a successful human rights lawyer in Dublin. On the outside, they could not be more different, and indeed they do not get along. Yet they are both grieving, in their own way – and not only for the immediate loss of their father, but also for the many losses endured throughout the course of their lives, including the once-loving relationship they had with one another.
Entwined in Ivan and Peter’s story are the women in their lives – Naomi, a free-spirited college student on the verge of homelessness, who shares photos of herself online for money, and Sylvia, a highly respected college professor in her 30s left in chronic pain by a life-altering accident and unable to enjoy the physical pleasures of intimate relationships. Like the two brothers, these women are poles apart. What they do have in common is Peter.
