Acquainted (2019)

In the bustling heart of Toronto, Emma (Laysla De Oliveira), an aspiring graduate student, and Drew (Giacomo Gianniotti), a man entwined in a complex relationship with his restaurateur girlfriend, find their worlds intersecting in the unlikeliest of places. Each finds themselves at a crossroads, caught in the throes of their first long-term commitments - she with a ceramicist poised to embark on a journey to Japan, and he amidst the financial strains of a newly acquired home. Their chance encounter at a local bar rekindles a connection that had lain dormant since their high school days, and an immediate, irresistible rapport blooms between the two. Yet, the allure of this newfound connection is tainted by the harsh reality of their existing commitments, casting a shadow of uncertainty over their burgeoning love. As the seasons change and Emma prepares for her imminent departure to Montreal for postgraduate studies, the tension between comfort and unpredictability, familiarity and novelty, begins to intensify. The budding attraction between them and their shared sense of feeling trapped in life stirs a longing for change, prompting Emma to propose a life-altering decision: for Drew to leave his girlfriend and commit to her instead. Acquainted is a riveting exploration of love and life's complexities, inviting viewers to ponder the question: Is the allure of a new relationship the panacea for their shared sense of stagnation, or a catalyst for chaos and regret? The answer lies in Drew's response to Emma's daring proposition, a decision that will undeniably alter the course of their lives.
