Requited Love  Synopsis

Henry and Lottie are close friends who met at university. Time has passed since their graduation and they are both trying to find their way in life, both to little success. Henry is passionate for music but is struggling to find his big breakthrough. He does busking as a side hustle to make ends meet. Lottie is a law graduate who has to live up to her parents’ high expectations of her. She recently started an apprenticeship, hoping to impress them.

Both agreed to move in together after Henry’s old flatmate, Jack, moved in with his new fiancé, Abi. Despite the obvious signs that Henry and Lottie have feelings for each other, neither of them can stomach up the courage to confess, much to the annoyance of their friends. After spending some time with their respective friends, Henry and Lottie meet back at their flat to reveal the truth.
