Menopause After Dark is a music-driven dark comedy that turns menopause into a loud 90s hip-hop fever dream. Across five original songs and a string of comic encounters, a woman gets buried under hot flashes, brain fog, mood swings, bad advice and an endless stream of modern remedies.
The harder she works to stay composed, the more ridiculous the effort becomes. The film builds through musical vignettes until she finally lets go of the performance of being fine. What is left is messier, funnier and more honest. The piece is deliberately nonlinear. Its rhythm comes from the songs, the mounting sensory overload and the gradual shift in the woman at the center of it.

"Menopause After Dark came from something deeply personal, but also incredibly universal… We are tough, we are funny, and we are fully alive in the middle of all of it. Menopause After Dark is not about fixing anything. It is about owning where we are, finding joy even in the hard moments, and reminding women that they are still powerful, vibrant, and fully alive."
