During her hen night, Spanish Flamenco dancer Carmen must, as tradition dictates, choose a man from the crowd at the bar to kiss as a way of bidding goodbye to the single life, for soon she will be marrying the caring but dull, Barnaby. From the crowd she chooses Kit ' an out of work Brazilian actor. This simple kiss leaves Carmen feeling altered; awakening in her a mysterious passion.

Although she is irresistibly drawn to the fiery passion offered by Kit, she nonetheless goes ahead with the marriage. But this is not the end of their relationship as the boredom of life with Barnaby drives her to Kit's bed and soon the new lovers resort to disguises and electronic equipment to keep their affair secret.

Appearances are not what they seem, as the story's layers are peeled back to reveal an elaborate web of deceit, lust and distrust. Toying with illusion and reality, passion and artifice, Matthew Parkhill's debut feature provides enough revelations to shatter the viewer's perception of who the characters are with every new scene.
