Keep Breathing

Synopsis

A woman gets stuck in a lift with the engineer that's fixing it, only to discover it's the man she had a one-night-stand with just a few weeks before. As the awkwardness manifests, it becomes clear they both have very different interpretations of the events that unfolded that night.
