Overview
Against Reason is a short film about when two exes (Jack and Anna) spontaneously meet up for a night of fun. The two get more than they bargained for when playful reminiscing turns into a critical review of what went wrong in their relationship. Jack and Anna realize that they're going to have to confront things they never did during their breakup.
