SYNOPSIS
The writer Paul and the voice actress Emilia were always considered to be the absolute dream couple by friends: Harmonious, happy, successful, with three charming children. But now, in their late 40s, their relationship is threatened by a crisis.
After the realization that their once picture-perfect marriage has gone stale, 40-somethings Paul and Emilia set out to regain their youthful rigor and happiness... apart. While Paul attempts to revisit the life he lived as a young writer, sleeping with younger women and popping pills, actress Emilia struggles with her new life as a single, sexually available woman quickly approaching 50. The uncoupled couple confronts their new anxieties about aging, sex, family, and success, and when they unexpectedly bump into each other at a birthday party, they're forced to look back at what they had. "It's Just a Phase, Honey" is a clever adaptation of Maxim Leo and Jochen-Martin Gutsch's best-selling novel of 25 different, unconnected anecdotes about middle age.
