Synopsis
After twenty-five years of marriage, the emergence of love handles and receding hairlines, Henry and Alice hit a physical plateau. With resources in hand, Alice convinces Henry into a weekend of alone time in the hopes of seducing him and unearthing her inner vixen. Henry, however, wants to keep things the way they are—comfortable and easy. Exploring every fantasy from leather to lace, Alice and Henry portray every couple’s desire to grow together but maintain individuality. This witty and hilarious Canadian comedy exploring how love and intimacy evolves as we get older.
