A love story about chance…
Ben is an aspiring cartoonist working in commercial video production to survive. He is also recovering from a recent breakup. Lost in self doubt, he dreams of meeting someone special.
Finally, through chance, Ben meets the vivacious and free-spirited Juliette. They form an instant connection, but Juliette has plans of her own…to move away… Regardless, the two decide to spend time together while they can, and as their love for each other grows in intensity, their time dwindles.
The film is intricate and multi-layered, presenting many of the sub-themes that challenge a group of 20-something friends finding their way: the complexities of loneliness within a group, the comradery among men, the friendship between women, the interaction amid the genders and the tug of potential gay love all play a role within the story's arc.
