According to Plato’s Symposium, humans were originally created with four arms, four legs and a two-faced head. But Zeus felt threatened by us and split us in two, leaving us in an endless search for our other halves. Fast forward to modern day: Arturo, a hopeless romantic in search of true love, and Daphne, a serial polygamist allergic to commitment, meet for what should be a one-night stand, and quite literally find their other half when their bodies fuse during sex. The haphazard journey to come undone might just reveal what they’d been missing all along.
