Leo takes his boyfriend Metin home for Christmas — a warm, traditional British household that’s eager to welcome him. But one simple question at the dinner table instantly sends the couple spiraling: “How did you two meet?” To impress his parents, Leo and Metin scramble to stitch together a wholesome, totally fabricated meet-cute, while the film flashes through the real story — messy dates, awkward selfies and booty calls. As the truth unravels, the film becomes a funny, heartfelt portrait of modern queer dating — reminding us that the love can be real, even when the story is not.
