Lovey-Dovey

What it’s about

Andrei and Marina Golubev have been married for seven years, but their once-passionate bond has faded into routine and petty arguments. Facing the prospect of divorce, they consult family psychologist Dr. Kogan, whose unorthodox method leads them to wake up in each other's bodies. Andrei, a lawyer, must now navigate his wife's world as an art gallery manager, while Marina, an art critic, finds herself in the courtroom. Each must cope with the other's professional and personal life, forcing them to see their marriage from the other side.

Its premise of marital role reversal offers a fresh comedic take on understanding one's partner.
