“A comedy of tears…”

DramaRomance

Lucky Mann is a builder equally handy at repairs and seduction. The latest housewife to succumb to his charms is Marianne, unhappily married to corporate exec Jeffrey. When Jeffrey becomes enraptured by Lucky’s wife Phyllis, the four get caught in a love quadrangle that reignites their marriages.

VIBE

A quiet, melancholic exploration of quiet desperation and the search for connection. It feels like a long, thoughtful conversation with a stranger on a cold, grey day, full of unspoken truths and gentle, wry observations.
