• Romance

A stand-up comedian’s meticulously curated romantic fantasy unravels in this sharply observed romantic comedy as she discovers her seemingly perfect boyfriend is built on a foundation of elaborate lies. Rather than a typical meet-cute progression, the film dives directly into the unsettling dissonance between idealized connection and fabricated reality, exploring the insecurities that drive both the deception and the desperate desire to believe in it. The humor isn't derived from slapstick, but from the painfully relatable experience of recognizing red flags while clinging to a hopeful narrative, creating a uniquely anxious and self-deprecating tone. It's a film about navigating the gap between the person we present to the world and the vulnerabilities we hide, and the exhausting work of discerning genuine connection from carefully constructed performance.
