When a woman tries to outwit her husband's sexy young mistress, the unexpected consequences include starring as King Lear in a very amateur production - with the mistress, an aspiring actress, playing The Fool.

A quirky, meta-comedy that playfully explores identity and performance. It feels like a thoughtful, character-driven indie film that uses theatricality to examine midlife anxieties and unexpected connections with a bittersweet, awkward charm.
