When Celine (Dasha Nekrasova, THE SCARY OF SIXTY-FIRST), begins filming a documentary about her failing relationship, her boyfriend, Jay (Peter Vack, ASSHOLES), becomes suspicious that she may be trying to cancel him. In a paranoid attempt to seize authorship over the film, Jay sets up hidden cameras and tries to entrap Celine into problematic behavior that he can record as insurance. As their secret surveillance escalates, they find themselves creating a movie full of absurd, erotic, and highly performative scenes. But when another couple’s whirlwind marriage puts Jay and Celine’s dysfunctional dynamic into perspective, they must use all the cinematic moments they have shared to try and save their love.

THE CODE is the latest feature directed by ground-breaking American indie filmmaker Eugene Kotlyarenko (SPREE) and stars Ivy Wolk (ANORA, CIFF 2024).
