Not Your Average Rom Com

Zarah, a rom-com loving teenager, entertains herself with meaningless talking stages and "situationships", hoping for the love she sees on TV. It's hard to feel like that's possible when "happily ever after" never happens to people who look, or love, like her. In an attempt to find happiness, she navigates the societal stigmas placed on her, but must realize the only thing stopping her from finding it is the lack of love she has for herself.
