Synopsis

A boy and a girl are coming to the end of their first date. As they head away from an art exhibition, a challenge is set: walk the girl home without touching the floor! It’s not just benches and people that they find themselves negotiating but each other, too. Both the boy and the girl have their own secrets, but can they put the past behind them for the sake of their future? And can they stop playing games and be honest with each other?
