- Synopsis
- While finalizing wedding plans with her New York-based fiancé Noah, playwright Eleanor finds herself distracted by Lucas, a handsome free-wheeling British sculptor with a side-gig as a tour guide in Rome. Struggling with writer’s block, Eleanor is swept up by his carefree attitude to life. Meanwhile, Lucas is also looking for escapism; he’s been struggling to make it as an artist in Rome for 10 years and is in a relationship with the no-nonsense Chiara, who wants him to get a ‘proper’ job.
  
  When Lucas follows Eleanor on a last-minute trip to Naples the sexual tension becomes impossible to resist, but after discovering their mutual dishonesty, they find themselves at a crossroads and have to decide whether to take the ultimate leap.
  
  A twist on the real-time getaway romance of classics like BEFORE SUNRISE, TAKES ONE TO KNOW ONE is a sexy, relatable love story that captures the spark of attraction between two people who accidentally find something they didn’t realise they were looking for.
