The acrimonious break-up of the house couple sparks a cold war between the men and women living in a student house in 1980s Manchester (UK).

That’s a predicament, a situation for a plot.? But the logline doesn’t follow through with a plot..? And a logline is a concise statement of a plot.
And we have no idea who is the protagonist.
Who is the protagonist?? What is his or her objective goal?

Implied? tension and conflict is necessary — but not sufficient.? There needs to be an explicit statement of an objective goal.
>>The ?decision? is just the choice he has to make after the call to adventure.
When? At the end of the 1st Act?? Act 2?? At the climax in Act 3?
And if he doesn’t decide either way at the end of Act 1, then what is his objective goal going into Act 2??
And please clarify what “all eternity” means?? Is it to be taken literally?? Does it apply to both choices?

The logline seems to posit a false dilemma.
A true dilemma is one where a character must choose between 2? options and either both are equally undesirable or both are equally desirable.?
But in this logline, it’s? a no brainer that spending all eternity alone is the more undesirable option; it’s far worse than than putting up temporarily with an ex and her cult crew.
Or is it temporary?? Is the predicament that he whatever choice makes he will have to live with for all eternity?? That’s not clear.?
Furthermore, taken at face value, the logline is saying that for the time span of the entire 2nd Act — a full hour screen time — the protagonist will be deciding to decide.? But a? plot isn’t about deciding to decide.? A plot is about the action follows when a protagonist decides to pursue a specific objective goal.
