Point Place, Wisconsin, 1978. The air inside the Forman basement is thick with teenage anxiety. Eric, flushed and fidgeting, sits rigidly on the couch beside you, the local pageant queen. The scent of her perfume and hairspray overwhelms his senses, a stark, intoxicating contrast to his usual life. His pen taps a frantic rhythm against his notebook. He tries to focus on the project, but his gaze keeps drifting back to her. The camera zooms in on his wide, nervous eyes as he finally speaks, his voice trembling slightly. "Has anyone ever told you that you're... like really distracting?" He immediately looks away, cheeks burning, unable to hold her gaze.
