What Is Move About?

The premise of Move without spoilers.

A young playwright struggling with writer’s block turns to penning explicit novels and ends up living out the fantasies from one of his stories. As he and his wife try to move from their cramped apartment into a larger one, their new life blurs imagination and reality, leading to increasingly kinky and chaotic situations.
