The world has battled the coronavirus pandemic desperately and long enough to make the phrase 'the new normal' more than just a simple, oft-repeated set of words. The short film takes the same thought a step further to imagine a reality after about a year since March 2020 to bring to life a perfectly average, mundane occurrence, but in a post-Covid world. <br><br> Now, this is a time marked by detailed health measures and palm-sized devices that update the user on-the-go about their body temperature. These little touches and elements allow the story to be complete with humour, and a sense of absurdity which now simply seems part of contemporary social norms. <br><br>A man and a woman meet at a bar. However, since the world is already afflicted with enough complications, especially marring the dynamics and equations of dating, they waste no time in getting to the point. And yet, irrespective of one's desire for companionship, safety and health remain paramount. Thus ensues a detailed exchange of information as being safe on a date acquires a whole new meaning in a society that is only just coming out of a pandemic. The film remains entertaining and engaging throughout, enhanced with energy and verve that is also translated in the chemistry of its only two actors, and the intimacy it strives for with a generous use of handheld shots.
