About *The Off Weeks*
The narrative centers around Gus Adler, played by Stiller. Gus, a writing professor, navigates the challenges of life following a divorce. He faces the struggles of parenting during “on weeks” when he has custody of his children. In contrast, his “off weeks” become complicated as he falls for Stella West, portrayed by Chastain. Stella’s presence intensifies the tension between Gus’s parental responsibilities and his personal desires.
