1. What's a trailer?

A trailer is a short preview of a film which summarises the story of what the film is about.

2.What's its main aim?

The main aim of a trailer is to advertise the film so people will be interested in going to the cinema or buying the DVD to see it.

3. Opening Scene of the film

A woman is angry with her husband after discovering that he has been cheating on her. After arguing with him, she is upset, and decides to look for things that will make her feel better. She finds another woman on the internet looking for a house exchange, and decides that would be something different to try and that she has nothing to lose.
