This is a 20-minute short film from earlier this year and it shows us the lives of two couples. One of them have been an item for many years, the other only for a few days, but all 4 struggle in their relationship somewhat. Who's gonna stay together, who's gonna break up? The writer and director is Sam Boyd, a fairly prolific short film director, but this is his most known work so far I guess and that is mostly due to Dakota Johnson playing the female lead. I think the actors do a decent job here as a whole, especially Johnson. However, I felt that the second couple, those who have been together for a long time, were just a pointless addition. Instead, I may have preferred if this had focused only on the new couple and maybe run for 15 minutes max instead. Still, it was a decent short film and I recommend it.
