Is monogamy outdated? Can you love more than one person? After years of respectable marriage, Joy and Alan are going to try doing what’s right for them.
Joy (Toni Collette) and Alan (Steven Mackintosh) are in a sexual rut. An injury to Joy has put their sex life on hold and now they aren’t clicking romantically, at all.
Suddenly both Joy and Alan find themselves drawn to new people, Alan to laidback, fun loving colleague Claire (Zawe Ashton) and Joy to handsome police officer Marvin (William Ash). As their frustrations grow, both are tempted to make the ultimate indiscretion.
Joy and Alan’s kids are going through their own romantic adventures. Oldest daughter Laura (Celeste Dring) is trapped in online dating purgatory, wild child Naomi (Emma D’Arcy) crashes back home after her gap year travels and begins a flirtation with an older woman, while teenage Tom (Joe Hurst) is making his own first tentative, and wholly unique, attempts at love and sex.
Wanderlust is a warm and witty look at love, lust and relationships in all their incarnations. It’s about the agony and ecstasy of falling in (and out) of love, whether you’re fifteen or fifty.
