Meet two characters in search of an exit.
"First Kiss: One Year Later" is Barely Political's sendup of last year's mega-viral, Cannes gold Lion-winning video from fashion label Wren that brought strangers together for some smoochy face time.
The original clip has generated nearly 100 million views, and a bazillion parodies—watching Haley Joel Osment take a slap to the kisser never gets old—so you'd think the joke would be played out.
Yet here we are, watching Beth Hoyt (who also wrote the script for the four-minute spot) and Tom Lipinski, captured in glorious black-and-white by director Todd Womack, portraying a "First Kiss" couple who stay on the set for an entire year.
