But later, Murphy had sex with Omi behind Electra's back, as a result of which Omi became pregnant. This unwanted pregnancy ended the relationship between Murphy and Electra on a very sad note, and it forced Murphy to get married to Omi. On a rainy 1 January morning, Electra's mother, Nora, phones Murphy at his small Paris apartment where he lives with Omi and their 18-month-old son to ask him if he's heard from the young woman, because she hasn't for quite a while now and, given her daughter's suicidal tendencies, she is really worried. For the rest of this day (and the film), Murphy recalls his past two years with Electra in a series of fragmented, nonlinear flashbacks; how they first met in Paris, their quick hookup, and their lives over the next two years which is filled with drug abuse, rough sex and tender moments.
