While Majka and Agata are both in their 50s, going through menopause, and dissatisfied with life, the old friends are otherwise polar opposites. Widowed Majka lives by the Baltic Sea, runs a sweet shop, and is a devoted grandmother, while recently single Agata lives in the Tatra Mountains, meditates regularly, and has no family. When the two women reconnect at a funeral, they make an impulsive decision to swap lives, a role reversal that leads to hilarious twists, character building challenges, and unpredictable revelations. A laugh-out-loud comedy about trusting your head and your heart, THE LOVE BUZZ delightfully suggests that age really is just a number.
