★★★★
THE HARDSHIPS of dating and nurturing a relationship while struggling to make ends meet are laid bare in this poignant and insightful romantic drama.
Set in Portsmouth, it has Jamie (a phenomenal Pippa Bennett-Warner) and Kyle (a charismatic Aki Omoshaybi) encountering each other in the city centre. Looking their best, each incorrectly assumes that the other is a successful professional.
