Set in the early 1980s, in the heart of the French aviation industry in Toulouse, a story unfolds that places a seemingly innocent aerobics class at the center of an international spy drama. Karine, a 40-year-old housewife and mother, leads an unremarkable life until the arrival of a new American neighbor, Jane, turns everything upside down. Jane, a charismatic aerobics instructor from Texas, not only brings a wave of enthusiasm for fitness and self-development to the small suburban community, but also a secret that goes far beyond the glittering aerobics suits and rhythmic exercises. As Karine and her friends get physically fit in their weekly aerobics classes, a web of intrigue begins to unfold. Jane, whose interest in Project 37 - Karine's husband Didier's secret venture in the aviation industry - becomes increasingly apparent, seems to have more than just fitness on her mind. The series THE AEROBICS PROJECT skillfully balances the line between a heartwarming experience of female emancipation and a gripping espionage thriller. Directed by Julien Patry, known for his dynamic and visually appealing storytelling, and featuring an award-winning musical score by French pop group Feu! Chatterton, the series offers a deep insight into the lives of women on the brink of a technological revolution. THE AEROBICS PROJECT is a series that uses the era of the aerobics craze to tell a story about trust, betrayal and the search for identity, embedded in the vibrant aesthetics of the 80s. Every twist, jump and stretch in Jane's aerobics class adds another layer of mystery that will keep viewers riveted until the very last minute.
