LOGLINE
Two socially-conscious cat lovers see what happens when you keep your heart open to love, just like your beliefs and your mind. Xia and Dustin show us that it’s not enough to like the same things, but it provides a great foundation for a Meet Cute, Actually based on shared morals, values, and love of cats.
STORYLINE
Xia, an opinionated socially-conscious grad student, meets Dustin, an aimless grad student now aimless postdoc, on OkCupid after just two weeks on the site. She swipes into his life after seeing that his profile features one half left-wing politics and the other half cute cats.
After connecting, they take things slow because Dustin doesn't want add romantic rejections to his pile academic rejections, and Xia was right about to delete her account before she dove into a Clinical Psychology Program. She had been on many first dates and embraced the casual nature of meeting people.
This carefree, friendly attitude shines through during their first meet cute in real life at the Chicory Cafe in Indiana.
Xia was first attracted to Dustin for his fancy button-down shirt but really loved how they effortlessly talked for three hours about everything from cute kittens to distributive justice and identity politics. Before these two knew it, they were hobnobbing together at all the grad student parties, and enjoying all the free food Xia’s campus had to offer. It was 12-hour marathon date. But, even so, these two always had more to discuss and uncover about themselves and their beliefs.
