Logline

JAMAIS VU

When Pius wakes up next to his date, Mia, on a picnic blanket in a forest, he can’t remember where he parked his car. Unbeknownst to both, they are inside a simulation run by a dating app. Searching for the car is a test to determine their compatibility. Only if all goes well will they be allowed to meet for real — but before it comes to that, Pius and Mia start to make their own rules.



  • Duration: 24 Min.
