Claudia does not know how to date in the twenty-first century; she meets a boy through a dating app hoping he will at least be normal, but the result is not what she expected.

Dating app comedy is the most exhausted premise alive, and Rodríguez knows it—which is exactly why the absurdist turn here feels like permission to stop pretending these stories have anywhere new to go.
The film's formal restraint in a 3-minute runtime shows awareness of romantic comedy's lineage, though it trades the genre's carefully earned beats for something closer to sketch than considered narrative.
There's a single tonal pivot—the moment expectation collides with reality—where Rodríguez commits fully to the absurd instead of winking at it, and that choice alone transforms what could've been rote into something with teeth.
