## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Tony’s Saturday nights belong to the disco but the rest of his life is a mismatch. A 28-year-old clerk with oil under his nails keeps dancing till sunrise to postpone Monday. When Stephanie—a dancer who prefers daylight—laughs at his rhinestone boots, his sequence stalls.

**Mood tags**: bittersweet, outsider, playful, sexy
