No Expectations

Before Sunrise meets November 9 in this sharp, slow-burn contemporary romance about two cynics who swear off love, only to find it waiting for them once a year.

Riya wants a life that feels like a story, but real-world romance has been nothing but an underwhelming cycle of messy situationships. She's cynical, exhausted, and officially done chasing fairy tales.

Kabir is a freshly graduated mechanical engineer who knows exactly how it feels when the ground shifts beneath your feet. After a devastating heartbreak, he's vowed never to let himself get tangled up in a romantic relationship again.

When a missed train strands them both at a desolate Goa railway station, an unlikely spark ignites. They don't want a relationship. They don't want the drama. So, they make a deal: No expectations. No cheap romance. Just one day every year to check in on each other.

They both claim single life is the best. They both claim relationships are a trap. But as the annual countdown begins again, they have to ask themselves: is their hatred for modern love protecting them, or is it blocking them from the only real story worth writing?
