A woman is excited to finally meet a man she has admired and adored for a long time. However, despite the air of excitement and cheer, the viewer can sense a suggestion of something dark brewing right under the surface.
As the date commences, the woman arrives to meet a man several years her senior. Despite an initial, brief unease, the night continues to develop seamlessly.
Though the narrative hints at unsavoury aspects in the past of both characters, they are never taken all the way or located more significantly within the narrative. What unfolds eventually is a story of clearly violated consent, and sexual assault, unlike what the title may have suggested at first glance.
The end result is sincere in sharing its intentions, and presents a glimpse of the storytelling skills of its predominantly young team.
