Plot summary
After more than twenty years, Patrick Meyer and Emma Marinelli meet again thanks to an online dating website. Patrick, crazy in love with her since childhood, invites her for a drink in a nice bar, but they actually don’t have the same thing in mind when it comes to what’s next for the night…
The author's note
Nowadays, online dating websites have become more popular than real-life dating between opposite sex or same-sex people. Everyone, at any time of their life, might choose online dating to help them find their soul mates, whether because they find it easier, because they’re shy or afraid of rejection. The nice thing about online dating is that it is a quicker method, and it enables us to choose someone sharing the same interests. The downside is that we never really know who’s on the other side of the screen. It might as well be a sex offender, a drug dealer or another criminal. That was what I tried to show with this movie, since the two characters know each other since forever but cannot say they really know who they are.
Synopsis
Patrick Meyer, a middle-aged man who has been very successful in life, has not met the woman of his dreams yet. One day, he decides to try online dating, and encounters Emma Marinelli, his first love, who is also looking for her soul mate. That’s when they go out for a drink in a romantic place. They continue their night in the bedroom, but don’t have quite the same thing in mind…
Do Patrick and Emma really know each other after all these years ?
