Poland’s major public broadcaster, Tvp, is breaking new ground by heading its European Film Market slate with a bittersweet comedy about two middle-aged women.
“The Love Buzz” (“Miłość Jak Miód”) focuses on what happens when two women in their 50s with very different approaches to life agree to swap homes and lifestyles after hitting the menopausal doldrums.
Commissioned and financed by Tvp and exec produced by Warsaw’s Akson Studio, “The Love Buzz” is directed by Maciej Migas, produced by Michal Kwiecinski (“Filip”) and co-written by “Hotel 52” writers Aneta Glowska and Katarzyna Leżeńska.
Aleksandra Kazmieruk, head of global distribution at Tvp, said: “We’re expanding into the rom-com space with this hilarious and heart-warming film. It seems unusual these days to see two women in their 50s finding love and new friendships, and ‘The Love Buzz’ really highlights that age is just a number.”
