Two things are infinite...

Martin (30) is feeling weird. He is a lonely Astrophysics student struggling to complete his final research paper through a lack of sleep, poor concentration and an overwhelming sense of loneliness. To make matters worse his answerphone has started making cocky comments about his lack of a lovelife.

Martin is thrilled when a beautiful blonde woman named Leila sits beside him on the tube one day, and he finally thinks of something to say to her. However he quickly realises that his life is about to be turned upside down as Leila brings him experiences that he has missed out on throughout his whole adult life so far.

Martin risks everything he has worked towards over the last few years as he forgoes his studies in a desperate attempt to keep Leila interested and keep up with her manic, hardcore thrill seeking lifestyle.

A bittersweet comedy drama in the vein of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind; about loneliness, male neuroses and sticking with your dreams, even when things get tough.
