This is Awkward
Cringey, clumsy and uncomfortable short scenarios.
Pirateland
As the winter season begins in Creta, an overly touristic Greek island, a family of locals, owners of a small struggling bed and breakfast, get an unexpected visit from a Nordic family of tourists looking into the piratic past of the area. The relationship between Manos, the Greek father and Tassos, his son, is being tested as they are struggling to meet the increasingly challenging demands of the tourists looking to live the authentic pirate experience.
Bootie's
An overworked assistant who moonlights at a lap dance party is thrown when her day job boss comes into the club. As her worlds collide, the two are caught in a delightfully awkward game of social chicken and an unspoken power struggle that begs the question: who’s really in charge?
The Cost of Hugging
A conversation between two people in a hotel bar elicits a story about work, purpose and pandas.
Montsouris
On a beautiful autumn day in Montsouris Park, Jacques and Nathan are on the lookout for interesting people to feature in their documentary. They stumble upon Pierre and Martin, two funny birds about to experience an unexpected moment.
Chasing the Party
Melissa and Stephanie fantasize about becoming downtown "IT" girls, but their dreams come crashing down on them when the photographer they idolize is the one to lift the veil.
Flame Out
Grace has double booked her night yet again, how far will she go to avoid confrontation? Inspired by a true story.
African Family Dinner
Mona, a Norwegian blonde, meets her Ghanaian boyfriends family for the first time. What starts as a simple dinner with both sides eager to impress each other, quickly escalates into the most awkward dinner in history!
