Rugby player Jace (Adam Lunnon-Collery) meets aspiring filmmaker Charlie (Liath Hannon) at a college party. Both attend Trinity College, but their worlds couldn’t be more different; Charlie is trans, her circle full of queer artists and creatives, while Jace is more comfortable with the locker-room banter of his rugby teammates. When the party is suddenly shut down by the Guards, the two find themselves alone in the streets of nighttime Dublin. As they wander the city, sharing secrets, dreams, and fears about life after college, a surprising revelation from their shared past threatens to upend their fragile connection. Jace must confront not only his past, but the social identity he’s long taken for granted. A tender, agreeably lo-fi romance whose talkative couple call to mind Richard Linklater’s Before trilogy.
