Doleac’s 7th feature as director, the film blends comedy, musical, and thriller elements and boasts original songs written by Doleac, Williams, Oliver Hofer, and Clifton Hyde. Produced under Doleac’s Historia Films banner, the film will be distributed in North America by Virgil Films with a release date slated for November 2023.

Plot
When the Corbins decide to open their marriage, wife Kristina (Lindsay Anne Williams) finds herself drawn to Erik LeRoux (Jeremy London), a former TV star and object of teenage infatuation. Meanwhile, her husband, Robert (Miles Doleac) takes a different path, exploring a safer connection with an old friend, Emma (Elena Sanchez). As the Corbins navigate the complexities of their evolving relationship, Kristina creates an imaginary 80’s music video paradise—a realm where fronts a band comprised of the aforementioned players and other figures from her everyday life.
