The Unicorn is a romantic comedy film directed by Robert Schwartzman. It follows the story of a young engaged couple, Caleb and Malory, who are invited to attend Malory's parents' 25th wedding vow renewal ceremony in Palm Springs. During their stay, they are introduced to a couple who seem to have a successful and happy marriage. The couple opens up to Caleb and Malory about their unconventional way of keeping their marriage exciting - by having threesomes.
Caleb and Malory, intrigued by this revelation, decide to explore the possibility of having a threesome themselves as they attempt to revitalize their relationship and properly celebrate their "re-engagement." They set out on a wild night, trying to find a potential third partner to join them for their threesome.
However, the night takes an intense turn as they discover deeper issues in their relationship that have been brewing beneath the surface. The couple is forced to confront the unresolved issues in their relationship and decide whether or not they are truly ready to take the next step in their engagement.
The Unicorn explores the complexities and challenges of modern relationships and the impact of alternative lifestyles on traditional values. The film stars Lauren Lapkus, Nick Rutherford, Lucy Hale, and Beck Bennett. It premiered at the South by Southwest Festival in 2018 and received positive reviews for its honest portrayal of relationships and human connection.
