See the films the platforms disagree about most →Jack is a shy and socially awkward limo driver whose life is one of quiet routine. His best friends, a couple, try to set him up with Connie, a equally introverted woman. As a tentative romance begins, Jack sets two seemingly simple goals for himself: to learn how to cook a meal for Connie and to master swimming so he can take her boating. These endeavors become monumental challenges that push him far outside his comfort zone, representing his struggle to connect and build a new life.
