Hold Me Tight (2022)
Mallory and Isaac Fridman have been happily married for over 30 years. Isaac works away a lot, and Mallory is almost always by herself. To keep the fire in the relationship alive they agree to communicate through frequent love letters. When a new love letter arrives, Mallory loves to read out the most beautiful parts to her friend, Val.
It could have been an example of a great love story until the day Val sees Mallory in the park, hugging a smart and attentive man, it makes life very complicated. A few days later another letter arrives on Val's doorstep by mistake, and there's something about the handwriting, something familiar, in a way Isaac's could never be.
