Afterglow
A comedy of tears…
Directed by Alan Rudolph
Produced by Moonstone Entertainment, Elysian Dreams
A bittersweet romantic comedy about four adults caught in overlapping desire and emotional entanglement, balancing humor with genuine melancholy.
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.
