Love is awkward. Desire is confusing. And sometimes the biggest problem in your relationship is… forgetting to ask one very important question. This opening night block explores the hilarity of human connection in all its clumsy, uncomfortable, and occasionally unhinged forms. From absurd romantic encounters to painfully relatable miscommunications, these films remind us that being human is inherently a little chaotic. And honestly, that’s the fun part.
Tragically, a make or break question.
Guy meets girl. Guy likes girl. Girl likes guy. Guy forgets to ask girl the one thing that truly matters to him, more than anything in the world… based on true events.
