Synopsis

Felix is a shy and insecure boy, with a very vivid imagination. On a sunny summer day, Felix sees two lost calls on his mobile phone from Olivia, the girls of his dreams. Panic gets hold of him. Instead of immediately calling her back, he starts staling while imagining the most absurd scenarios for her reasons to call him. The much more daring Olivia is now totally confused by Felix’s lack of reaction and starts a painful self-doubt process by imagining the most absurd reasons he might have for not calling her back.

When they do finally succeed to agree on a first date later that day, both of them have a big obstacle to surpass. They first must defeat the fears and false expectations they have created in order to see each other as they truly are. In this sense, a cloud lends a helping hand by sliding in front of the sun at the time of their meeting, thus making all shadows disappear, maybe even the shadow of doubt.
