The Story
Perfect examines modern day relationships, balancing the struggle of living the life you’ve always wanted with what you’re willing to give up in exchange.
When you look at a couple sitting in a café or walking down the street holding hands, you might think, "They seem like the perfect couple!" But do we really know what’s going on behind closed doors? Why are these two people together? What makes them work? It’s an answer that only the couple can give. No one truly knows but the two of them.
This film also asks the question, "What are we willing to give up in order to 'have it all'?" There’s no formula for the perfect life. We all make do with what we are given, no matter what anyone thinks.
Anything can happen in a night. Everything can change. People can be different than they seem. Perfect shows what happens when truths are exposed, revealing that what one person might believe to be perfect can be so much deeper.
