A man tries to win back the love of his parallel life in the romantic comedy-drama ‘Second Chance’

A romantic blend of fantasy and drama, the new Dekkoo Exclusive Second Chance follows Alan and Daniel (Luigi Calduch and Caio Fliper), an attractive young couple celebrating their five-year wedding anniversary.

When a romantic dinner doesn’t go according to plan, a vicious lover’s spat ensues. Daniel, in a moment of anger, suggests that maybe the pair should never have married in the first place.

During the night, fate intervenes to teach him a lesson. Daniel wakes up in the morning to find himself in an alternate universe where he and Alan’s relationship ended half a decade ago.

Suddenly alone and confused, Daniel begins to realize how much he took for granted and sets out on a mission to win back the love of his parallel life.

Taking inspiration from It’s a Wonderful Life, this new film from Mauro Carvalho, the prolific Brazilian director behind The Senator, Cousins and About Us, tells a charming and sexy story about two men who get a second chance at first love.
