The basic idea is that a committed couple vacation in Greece, and end up involved in a threesome. It is not predicated as a purely sexual thing (although sex plays a role). It is the emotional connection between the three main characters that is central to the plot.
For those who don't know what polyamory means, it is basically the ability to love more than one person, and the story does a good job of conveying that concept. Some people may be disappointed that it isn't more fantastic and dwell more on the passion, but the fact that it attends to the difficulties as well as the fantasies is a point in its favor.
In this sense, the movie progresses, as each character starts with certain notions that are evaluated and disposed of, or new notions that are adopted. It is, of course, somewhat simplistic, and the characters are a bit two-dimensional (with enough variation to be interesting, but with some elements that seem injected just because).
That said, it is a fun movie to watch. The setting is pleasant, and young, fit people are enjoyable to watch, especially when they go skinny-dipping in the Aegean Sea. It isn't something I necessarily want to watch again and again, and the general concept of an emotional threesome may be anathema to some people, but if you are interested in the general concept of polyamory, this might be a good way to get a feel for it.
