The Game

A young man, sits alone in a cafe, deep in thought. A bouquet of disregarded roses in front of him.
A young man and a young girl, stare at something together. Another man watches their interaction carefully from behind.
In a busy street, a young man, attempts to catch the attention of a young woman.
In a quiet street, a young man and an older man watch two girls having an intense conversation from afar.
In a bathroom, a young girl places her finger on a man's lips as if to shush him. A mirror and a polaroid of the couple separates them.

Synopsis

Donald, a lonely young man desperate to improve his dating life, hires a manipulative pick-up artist, Charles, to teach him how to meet and attract women. Over the course of one night in London, Donald is pulled into a world of performance, pressure and control, where confidence becomes coercion and desire begins to blur with power. What began as a harmless lesson on love transforms into a night where the methods he is instructed to use to achieve his goal are far darker than he could have ever imagined.
