“You seem to have captured the attention of an intriguing young lady… you see that you’ve missed a call. There’s a voice mail; she tells you that she won’t be seeing you tonight.” Thus begins a simple love story, but before there was this film, there was a short. This is the meta-textual story of that short and the story of showing the girl in question the short.

Popping off the screen with explosive style and energy, director and star Terence Nance adapts and expands his previous film like a musician remixing and improving a classic song. His film playfully pushes the cinematic envelope while plumbing the depths of heartbreak.
