Overwhelmed by the infinite choices of the modern world, Katha and Ryu discover an enticing escape route: leaping into a community of 1950s re-enactors, where life is simpler, passion is risqué, and a sparkling cocktail is a daily accessory. They gamely exchange high-rises for hifis and sushi lunches for Tupperware parties, but in this provocative comedy, retro attitudes about gender, race, and sexuality stir up powerful questions. How much are they willing to sacrifice for happiness?
