In this lyrical drama, Aviva is a young Parisian who develops an online romance with Eden, a New Yorker.
After a long courtship Aviva and Eden meet in person and fall in love, settling into an intimate relationship that leads to marriage. But their lives are not without struggle - inside both young lovers exist warring factions of masculine and feminine energies battling for primacy inside and out of the bodies that contain them.
Incorporating exultant dance sequences, and featuring a pair of principal characters played by four different actors externally expressing their masculine and feminine sides, Aviva captures a restless, frenzied and very fluid moment in time - right now - where the male-female dynamic is demystified and laid bare like never before.
