This Time Next Year
When Minnie meets Quinn at a New Year's Eve party, it becomes clear that they have nothing in common except for the strange fact that they were born on New Year's Eve at the same time and in the same place. Crazy coincidence, but no reason to seek friendship and definitely no excuse for Quinn to expect more. He's a privileged party animal who believes he owns the world. She's a down-to-earth worker whose lack of confidence tends to hold her back. Opposites don't really attract... it's not like this is a romantic comedy, is it?The clock strikes midnight, her moment passes and another year begins. But if Quinn and Minnie are from different worlds, why do they keep clashing? And why does every frustrating interaction somehow seem to steer their lives in the right direction? address? Could it be that their different viewpoints are not complementary, but complement each other? Maybe now is the time for them to finally get together.
