Honeymoon Avenue
On the verge of a breakup, modern couple Ava and Theo Thompson are packing up their apartment when a mysterious mover arrives with an old television set that refuses to stay silent. In a flash, they are transported into Honeymoon Avenue, a bright, glossy 1950s sitcom where laugh tracks cue emotion, commercials interrupt conflict, and love is always supposed to bounce back by the end of the episode.
Trapped inside a world of perfect smiles and rigid gender roles, Ava and Theo must perform a version of marriage built on appearances rather than honesty. As they struggle to play the “ideal” husband and wife, the cracks in their real relationship become impossible to ignore. Meanwhile, Kenny, a mischievous angel disguised as a parade of cheerful neighbors, tries and hilariously fails to fix what only human beings can.
