This beautifully played short film from director Mark Pluck tugs at the heartstrings by showcasing a love that came so close and yet so far, from being perfect. Not that love was in the air when two strangers met in the middle of the night; a deserted car park the pick-up point for the fortysomethings to get to know each other intimately well. Only sex is not on the agenda here, as a gardener by trade (Daniel Lane) is set to discover when he finds himself in the company of a man (Christopher Sherwood) so closeted that he's not even out to his parents, or almost anyone else for that matter. Cutting their time together short, the two men go their separate ways, only to repeatedly meet each other over the course of the next few nights that soon turn into days; for conversation, friendship and perhaps something more akin to a beautiful thing. Essentially a two-man play, here actor, writer and producer Lane has crafted a telling work on the quest to find true love; namely when that one person feels the same way about you in their heart, as you do about them. Only and with a spoiler warning firmly in place, here Lane opts to pull the rug out from under the feet of romantics, by dropping two key lines from each party into the conversation; revelations that will have dramatic consequences on their burgeoning relationship. Well-played throughout by the Lane / Sherwood pairing who wonderfully capture the 'yin and yang' styled nature of their relationship, the result is a deeply touching work on life, love and if anything regret over what could have been and what, nearly was. Captivating, if ultimately quite sad. Under cover of darkness, two strangers bond over a shared secret. But how well do they really know each other?
