Honey, take your time

Honey, take your time is a movie about two boys on a date. The message that is tried to convey is that you just need yourself rather than following the social dating standards that are prevailing nowadays. The short movie addresses the personal crises of Bene and August who both just want to find somebody that matches their personality, life or character. The motto producing the film was to make it as awkward and unpleasant for the viewer as possible. The reason behind making the date this awkward was that the awkwardness is exaggerating that the person that fits the best to yourself is yourself.
