Eddie and Amber (Fionn O’Shea & Lola Petticrew) live in rural Kildare. Eddie seeks a military career similar to his father’s, while Amber dreams of opening a bookshop in liberal London. When speculation begins to mount concerning their sexuality, the closeted pair enter into an arrangement. They stage a fake relationship, pretending to date each other in order to ward off rumours. What starts as a blossoming platonic friendship begins to unravel as Amber embraces her queerness while Eddie retreats further into denial.

Acclaimed by critics, Dating Amber handles its sensitive and complex issues with humour and lightness of touch, marking it as the perfect love letter to teenagers who felt they needed to escape in order to be themselves.
