In Issa Date, a woman and a man prepare for a night out, each caught in their own mix of excitement and hesitation. As they pick outfits, check their hair, and psych themselves up, we see flashes of past disappointments and the pressure of wanting things to go right this time. Their worlds never meet on screen—the film stays with them in those private, in-between moments where confidence rises and falls in seconds. With playful cuts, bold visuals, and sharp humor, Issa Date is a fresh take on dating jitters, showing that sometimes the biggest step isn’t across the table—it’s out the front door.
