Things Like This

Mark, exhausted by the predictable choreography of app-based dating, makes an absurd wager with his friend: for one month, he must initiate contact only in the most ridiculous everyday scenarios. His first 'target' is Anya, whom he accidentally showers with flour in a supermarket aisle while reaching for yeast. This clumsy collision sets off a chain of events where every awkward silence, every misplaced joke, and every fumbled glance becomes a step toward something genuine. The film examines modern courtship rituals through a lens of deliberate absurdity, questioning whether authenticity can be forged in the fire of total social embarrassment. The script deftly navigates between self-deprecating humor and tender moments, following two control freaks as they learn to improvise in life's most unpredictable project: a real connection.
