In a timespan of a few months, Jake (Ivan Comisso) has become a different person. Some have asserted that a year of following social distancing guidelines will have aged them by a decade, and while this may apply to Jake it doesn’t, on the surface level at least, appear to be an entirely bad thing. In the opening scene, he portrays himself as – though he would never say the word – a misogynist, who effectively only sees women as sexual objects to be conquered. He has no interest, he says, in being in a relationship, and doesn’t call his dates back, preferring instead for them to call him (and if they don’t, well, there’s plenty more fish in the sea and all that).
