Sophie and Karl are persuaded to go on a blind date by mutual friends and long-term couple Helen and Dave. Sophie, a pretty, sexually confident thirty-year-old, is looking for something more permanent than her usual transient relationships. Karl, a good-looking thirtysomething, agrees because he thinks Helen secretly fancies him and this is her way of checking him out. The minute they clap eyes on each other they like what they see. The date goes really well with Sophie agreeing to go back to Karl\u2019s for a coffee and chat. Each recount a radically different version of what happens next.<\/p>\n

Written and Directed by Colette Cullen<\/p>\n
