Two performers, an amateur and a professional are rehearsing an "unscripted" 
love story in a storefront window. Safely hidden behind the glass and 
shamelessly exposed to the onlookers, the two clash, merge and collapse in 
a desperate attempt to get to the place more real than reality itself. 
Their search for innocence turns out unexpectedly when the third character 
enters their virtual Eden...
