Synopsis:
The most famous love story, 5 boys, 5 girls, 1 room, 2 hours, an experiment. This is Shakespeare wrapped in a towel, singing to himself in the mirror. This is Shakespeare sweating it up on a football field, mud underneath his nails, quiffing his hair and pashing girls. It is raw, dirty, and full of life and death. It is a rough, gutteral and honest-ish experience that explores the irrational and powerful nature of love.

boy girl wall
Side by side in a leafy suburb, Thom lives in one flat, Alethea in another. It's pretty clear that their respective, unsatisfying lives would improve enormously if they just met each other. But with a wall literally between them, this seems highly improbable. then there's the building's Power Box, having an existential crisis about the eventual collapse of the universe, and the super nova from five thousand years ago. then there's time travelling on an equation for the speed of light and too much sugar. there's demon magpie attacks, laptops in love, cats dancing to Prince and sock puppet nightmares. And a tiny prayer by the Wall, hoping that all of these pieces can come together for one magical moment of love.
