Overview

Welcome to the corner of Maple & Vine, where every day is 1955.

Katha and Ryu have become allergic to their 21st-century lives. When they meet a charismatic man from a community of 1950s re-enactors, they decide to forsake cell phones and DoorDash for cigarettes and Tupperware parties. But after moving to this compulsively authentic world, Katha and Ryu are surprised by what their new neighbors – and they themselves – are willing to sacrifice for happiness.

“Piquantly funny, cleverly executed and darkly playful.” – The New York Times
