Plot

An office worker named Jason is performing his boring daily work in his office when he sees a pretty girl named Stacey in her own office in the next building. Jason is drawn to her and they begin to communicate through Signs.

They begin communicating almost every day and Jason plans to ask Stacey on a date but hesitates. Stacey stops appearing in her office and Jason returns to his boring life, regretting the fact that he did not ask Stacey on a date.

Jason notices Stacey in a different window when she reflects light off a mirror at him from her new office following her promotion. Jason takes the opportunity to ask Stacey on a date. They meet face-to-face for the first time on the sidewalk between the buildings and Stacey holds up a sign saying "Hi" to Jason.

Controversy

YouTube fans of the film commented on the similarities to it seen in the Disney film Paperman but any similarity was dismissed by Hughes.[1]

gollark: I don't know if he did say directly "please don't", although I'd think being blocked is a fairly strong signal.
gollark: Go `wscat -c "ws://localhost:6086/v4?enc=cbor` yourself.
gollark: OH NO
gollark: I don't think they *are* very extreme, mostly? I just disagree with them.
gollark: By doing it.
