Through bittersweet soliloquies and song, lonely New York singles fantasize romantic adventures, join in emotional conflict, and question the commitment of marriage—all the while never actually meeting.

“Through it,” Petosa said, “we look at all the possibilities of courtship through three couples: a man/woman, a woman/woman, and a man/man.”
