Adulting is a difficult journey fraught with stress, anxiety, loneliness, catching feelings, heartbreak, painful healing, routine, monotony... all to simply learn how to be the main character in your own life...
Main Character Vibes follows the intertwining lives of an ensemble cast of millennials as they struggle to find meaning & purpose in the big city.
It's October in Toronto. Autumn has exacerbated that sinking feeling that comes when winter is on the horizon.
Elias & Tilly have been living together for three years ever since they met and graduated from college. As a Legal intern, Tilly is overworked and under-loved but has no time for anything else. Having been living the same day for the past three years, Elias is disillusioned by life after college...his frequent panic attacks are just one symptom of that monotony.
Things take a drastic turn when Wayne (a retired investment banker turned art collector) injects a little bit of chaos into Elias's routine. Being Elias's mentor, Wayne persuades him that passion needs reviving every now and then and takes him to a plush brothel that he partly owns with madame Clara Desbiens, who herself came to the big city with plans of her own.
Then there are Francis and Marie who are stuck in a stagnant marriage. But unbeknownst to Francis, Marie is having an affair with Wayne.
Thus, the characters go through the motions putting temporary bandages on permanent wounds until an inevitable carnage unravels their lives on a cold October night in the heart of Canada's biggest metropolis.

Fall in Love with You
You live in a small town. You don't believe in love - or in magic. You make up a boyfriend just to get people off your back... and then, one quiet autumn afternoon in a bookstore, you meet the very boy you invented. Agatha Carroway has always preferred to stay out of sight - cozy rituals, quiet mornings, her favorite little bookshop, and a complete absence of romance. A fake boyfriend was supposed to be a harmless white lie, a polite way to stop her family and neighbors from asking questions she never wanted to answer. But when a stranger walks into the shop looking exactly like the perfect boy she once described - the same smile, the same eyes, the same inexplicable warmth - Agatha's carefully ordered world fractures. And when strange things begin happening around her, she can no longer ignore the truth she's denied her whole life: magic exists... and it's waking up inside her. And with that magic comes everything she's been hiding from herself. Now Agatha must figure out who this boy really is, why his appearance is tied to the changes stirring within her, and why feelings she buried long ago are suddenly returning. All of it unfolds as autumn settles over Seven Oaks - golden leaves, quiet mysteries, and the soft kind of magic that alters everything. A cozy fall romance about impossible encounters, awakening magic, and the moment love finds you - even when you don't believe in it. 🍂✨🍂Dokončeno
