Synopsis
"How do you keep the flame alive?"
Swinging with the Finkels tells the story of Alvin and Ellie Finkel
played by British comedy favourite Martin Freeman (THE OFFICE, THE
HOBBIT) and US film, music and TV star Mandy Moore (LICENSE TO WED,
TANGLED), a couple living in London at breaking point in their
relationship. As two young students, Alvin and Ellie met at
university and fell in love. A few years later they are now married
with successful careers and very little time for each other. They
are getting dangerously close to falling out of love…
As the marriage of their closest friends Peter and Janet played by
US comedy star Jonathan Silverman (WEEKEND AT BERNIE’S) and
Australian actress Melissa George (30 DAYS OF NIGHT), hits the rocks
after Peter embarks on a steamy affair, the Finkels are encouraged
to analyse their relationship and decide whether they have a
marriage worth saving. Do they stay together and continue with their
increasingly stale relationship, or should they attempt to relight
the flame that they are both missing? Would sex toys be the answer?
Will dressing up and role play help spice things up? Or should they
indulge in the ultimate marriage scruple of wife swapping? Alvin and
Ellie are about to discover whether swinging is the answer to their
marital problems…
Featuring an unforgettably “cheeky” appearance by TV personality
Angus Deayton as he has never been seen before, and also starring
British comedy star Daisy Beaumont (STAR STORIES), US comedy legend
Jerry Stiller (ZOOLANDER) and Pineapple Dance Studios’ Louis
Spence, SWINGING WITH THE FINKELS is directed by Jonathan Newman,
creator of the original short film SEX WITH THE FINKELS and produced
by Deepak Nayar (BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM).
