One Night Only

Synopsis

In a near-future world where premarital sex is strictly criminalized, the law provides only one legal exception: a single night each year when unmarried individuals are permitted to find a partner for a one-night stand. Allie and Owen, two charming strangers with very different perspectives on the ritual, cross paths during this high-stakes evening. As they navigate the chaotic, desperate streets of a city obsessed with the ticking clock, they find themselves caught in a series of comedic misadventures. Allie, who is searching for a meaningful connection, and Owen, a cynical pizza shop employee, must choose between sticking to their original plans or pursuing the unexpected spark between them. From director Will Gluck, this high-concept romantic comedy explores the absurdity of modern dating and political control, ultimately questioning whether true love can survive a system that forces intimacy into a twelve-hour window.
