On Christmas Eve, Cliff, a newly sober improv comedian, cracks a tooth and lands in the emergency care of Didi, an older no-nonsense dentist. What begins as a routine check-up sparks an unpredictable evening of misadventures. Together, Cliff and Didi fight to overcome being shut out by their families, face their biggest fears, and discover their own surprising and tender connection.
Jay Duplass' (CYRUS, BAGHEAD) first feature directed in over a decade is a crowd-pleasing rom-com filled with heart and magic. Mark Strassner's Cliff and Liz Larsen's Didi make a charming duo that are the main reason the film was given the Audience Award at SXSW this year.
