The Next Two Hours

Trapped at home 24/7 during the pandemic lockdowns, many marriages crumbled, as couples realized they married the wrong person. Married to others, Janna and Damien reconnect during the pandemic and begin a passionate love affair. Through this affair, they disrupt their lives, upset moral and social norms, and change their perceptions about their future.

Directed by Yan Cui, The Next Two Hours leans on a strong ensemble — Julianna Robinson, Chris Richards, Aaron Lichtanski — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2023.
