- A young couple discusses what they want.

Joshua and Beccs are in the car, listening and singing along to music together as they're on the way to get some takeout. They are really into the music, having a great time together, and clearly enjoy one another's company.
But then a phone call interrupts their music. The call for Beccs, from a guy named J.J., who she admits is one of her boyfriends. This rubs Joshua the wrong way: even though he has only started dating Beccs, he knows he likes her, and he is a commitment kind of guy. As they talk, Beccs reveals she is polyamorous. The two attempt to understand one another's views, but the gulf between them might prove too far for either to cross.
Directed by Daniel Daniel, who co-wrote the script with co-star Avigail Tlalim, this short relationship drama is focused, economical and spare in execution, but it's also a prime example of how far excellent writing and performances can go to portray the tremendous complexity of modern dating and human desire.
Shot as a one-take, the film generates interest not with the push and pull of editing or the dazzle of slick cinematography. Instead, it puts the words and feelings of these two characters front and center, and the confined setting of the car feels almost like being on a "fly on the wall" in this potential couple's trajectory.
The storytelling takes considerable time at the beginning to see the pair at a point of childlike abandon. The couple takes an almost primal joy in each other's company, able to be silly and uninhibited with one another. But Beccs has to come clean with Joshua about the other men in her life and, more importantly, about her general stance about relationships.
The film then transitions into the "meat" of the film, as they engage in a discussion on Beccs's polyamory and Joshua's more traditional take on relationships. The drive-thru provides an aptly ribald metaphor for Beccs, who explains that she likes to "dip [her] chip in many sauces," and doesn't want to miss out on any of her favorites.
The writing is honest, clever and non-judgmental about both sides, and the characters are generous and kind with one another as they attempt to understand their difference, a dynamic that underscores their compatibility and fundamental decency with one another.
The terrific rapport between the actors themselves -- Tlalim as Beccs and Michael Workeye as Joshua -- gives the film a certain dynamism and musicality, especially as they negotiate the ebbs and flows of the feelings that come up. They vacillate between tension and humor, and by the time Beccs's phone rings again, she and the viewer are left with questions of whether what she has with Joshua is worth giving up her polyamory, and just what she will do.
With a solid foundation of excellent writing and performance, SAUCE takes on a modern issue in the contemporary dating landscape, but it's also about the moment when two people, who adore one another, must confront their intentions for the relationship, and perhaps even about their lives. The dilemma is the abundance of romantic possibilities and adventures that Beccs wants to experience, versus the special bond, solidity and even love that Joshua offers. Just how singular and unique is the freedom and joy she experiences with Joshua and is she willing to risk giving that up? The question hangs in the air for the characters, and will likely haunt Beccs and viewers after the film's end.

So the guy wants an exclusive relationship. The girl wants to openly be with multiple people. You can't drive in the same car, when you're going different directions.
Finally!
That’s what’s so great about the opening part with the whole, “Are we going the right way?”
“You tell me.”
This is the correct way to summarise this short story..
Awesome..👏🏼👌🏼

This is so realistic, I feel like I'm intruding on a private conversation between actual people.
Having been him I was blown away by how spot on everything was, from subject matter to body language.

Hilarious! 🤣
Chemistry wise they are awesome, value wise they are different.
I feel like you need both for a successful relationship
Very few people get this.
Precisely. All the chemistry in the world will not overcome a difference in values.
Hey everyone! Director and co-writer of 'Sauce' here! Been amazing to see the response to our film. For those interested, the film was really done in one-take (after about 10 tries!) and the script was based on an improvisation. So about 80% of it was improvised and the rest added on afterwards to make it work structurally. All in all, only came to about £400! And the brilliant song at the start is Pipe Dream Love by London-based duo Ka-Li.
Huge love to Omeleto for giving our film this platform to get it out there! Please do share it around if you enjoyed it!!
It's brilliant! Amazing actors, they were perfect in this.
Amazing job. Really got the feeling of listening in on a conversation rather than watching acting.
wow that's incredible. Fantastic film!! Love the story
DAMN BRO, THAT'S ACTUALLY INSANE, I APPRECIATE YOU A LOT
Not exaggerating when I say this is one of the best short films I've seen in a long time. Loved every minute of it. Made me genuinely feel a rollercoaster of emotions, which isn't easy to do (believe me I've tried). I just felt the passion everyone put into this, amazing job.
For some reason, everything, down to their hand movement, seems so realistic.
so true idk how, but its like the film really happen, how did they made that effect ?
@@dyc1104 Good acting I guess.
Didn’t ask
except for how quickly they got there food
@@b.bob.b4284 :((((((
Wow ! Two people actually being honest and sharing their feelings without the toxicity . Maturity at its finest !
Exactly ,being able to talk about what you feel and being heard is a different sort of achievement.
hmm I think they just scratched the surface though.
So let me ask this from everyone who responded... Do yall take her side in this scenario?
@@iXMewsick Ain't no sides to take. He either stays with her but doesn't take her seriously or he leaves. That simple.
This film should be listed as Sci Fi because this kinds of honestly is rare, almost non-existent
I love how even though they disagree, they're not having a shouting match.
Must be Gemmy and Saggy
It's a civilised shouting match ...
Ppl saying "this is why you dont use tinder/this is why you dont date" guys no. This is why you COMMUNICATE intentions and, i cannot stress this enough, *define* and *stick* to your boundaries. Why is he dating a polyamorous person? I swipe left immediately when i see poly ppl because thats none of my business, its not for me to convince someone else, i def dont want to be convinced myself. You just arent compatible, everything isnt personal. Leave that person for someone else. You will find your person. Stop trying to make fetch happen. If you fit, you fit.
Poly is a joke 💀

I wonder why short film actors are always the most natural especially since the time is short for them to truly immerse in their character
JJ - “I studied PPE”
Me - ah the good old personal protective equipment, wise choice
Me too 🤣🤣🤣 I was like Oh that’s something you can major in in college now? Ok!
First thing that i was thinking when I heard it
🤣
Some politicians made big money on PPE, so I guess there is a connection ;)
I thought the same thing. I was confused.
i love all the little innuendos like when she asks do u want any "sides" like nuggets he immediately says no (as a metaphor for not wanting side people), and how her happy meal toy is a poke ball because "pokemon gotta catch em all", unless I read too deeply into nothing 😂
Oh! You’re good!
I think you're spot on!

Or beefy sausage.
Sorry. I couldn't help it.
@@meg-k-waldren most sausages are pork though. usually beef gets made into balls. Anyway.. technicalities.
*hearty steak
I like sauce. If I want to taste sauce, I'll have sauce. If I want steak, no sauce.
This is definitely 80-90% improvised acting to make it seem as natural as they did.
The acting in this all feels very natural; they have general characters to play and set plot points, and the phone calls must be organised in advance.
It must have taken so many practice attempts to get it perfect.
It’s really good acting.
I agree its insanely good
It's also just one shot. I wonder how many cheeseburger they have eaten...
I almost feel like it was the 1st take, and they just got really lucky. The acting feels a bit "too natural" (in a good way), if that makes sense.
Phenomenal directing, acting, writing! Great story about modern dating, awkward conversations, too many choices, great analogy of dipping sauces, dating partners & being the steak/Mcnuggets. Whether you both delete the dating app or don't is a big step of commitment for a couple. Bravo well done!
Honestly, this felt so real. I was literally pausing and trying to argue out my opinion, thinking I was part of their conversation lol. Great stuff :)
Thanks Nathan! Appreciate this, love to hear that you felt involved!
@Perme Abang Yes, director and co-writer :)
That's great acting from him at 3:00. Perfect, natural response.
Didn’t ask
Those subtle reactions really make a difference in drawing the viewer in. Amazing work from these guys
@@b.bob.b4284 what's that all about? You reply to all comments with that? really smart!
Bro did that to himself tho, considering he already knew.
If I'm spending time with a friend, let alone a date(?), I turn off my damn phone. Nothing more annoying than constant interruption.
Same! Wish more did that.
Think the point is the other guy is just as important to her, that is why she answers it. She isn't a one guy girl, so he doesn't have her full attention.
It doesn't look like that they're acting. They are both so good man. Also, if this is all one take then it's a 10/10 for me.
Yep, all in one-take! Took a few tries though..
@@dandaniel1700 Are you the director man? Great film brother! I'm always a fan of one-take shots especially long ones (along with great dialogue writing). Thankyou for this!
@@karlgalvez Yes! Cheers Karl, appreciate that :)
@@dandaniel1700 Amazing film and actors, was most of the dialogue improvised?
@@aniltoor3154 Thanks! Most of it was improvised beforehand then written down and rehearsed. A few parts were spontaneous on the day but mostly, they stuck to the script.
The chemistry, the dialog,
from the opening with them singing “Pipe Dream Love”, to the closing with him leaving to go get sauce as she stays in the car with her phone ringing (sauce coming to her), it is all just a great bit of storytelling.
I'm really impressed this was a 15 minute one shot take
I was looking for this comment
How she gonna eat the burger and then touch her hair/face with her greasy hands
Thats called sloppy eating with a sloppy meal 🤪
This is so brilliant! In its simplicity. The acting is phenomenal, so natural. And I love how it is all filmed from one angle, in one take, and yet captures little details like the speed bump on each pair of wheels when they leave the drive-thru, or the windscreen reflection of the McDonald’s sign. The squishy toy. And the sauce metaphor which seems a bit easy at first but totally makes sense as a punchline. Wow!
When the acting is so good you have to wonder whether it’s still acting or real life.
Exactly. I almost felt as if I was watching a video recording of a real conversation.
"I like you. Change." Even without the polyamory aspect of the woman, such a premise as demanding someone changes to suit your tastes is total BS.
Or, you can not attempt to have a monogamous relationship with someone that clearly states they don’t want monogamy
Well you can't attempt to have a poly relationship with someone that clearly states they don't want polygamy
"You're like chicken nuggets"...
Get out.
I felt this guys pain and he probably felt the character he was playings pain
The acting in this is extremely natural and realistic! Great job!
They are sooo natural!. Its hard to believe there was actually any script for this film.
I think a good bit of it was improv...maybe half?
Wow, the acting is so natural and the context so intimate that I figured they would turn to me at some point and ask me to get out of his car.
Love how the scene is in one take. Felt so real
Polyamory is not for me. I do respect people who are poly of course. I've listened to and read about quite a few. The question that keeps coming up for me is: how many people are really polyamourous AND able to have committed intimate relationships? A lot of them seem to have fear of commitment and use polyamory as a way out. Even if you are in 2 or more "committed" relationships, you could be fooling yourself, thinking that you are poly while you are really just afraid of real intimacy with somebody. So, whenever someone gets too close and your fear is triggered, you use the other person to ease the feelings and vice versa.
He was like I ain't payin for the bitch's food and she can buy mine and no nuggets. lol
The woman’s food you mean?
Somehow I already don't like the woman after the first minute 😅🙈
@@davidgallego2854 even if I wouldn't act the way she did I would never call a woman that way ... You should think more about the words you use ... I just ment that I cannot have a connection to her, she seems to be so restless, you can already see that when she sings that song in the car, somehow she seems to have struggles with herself, her movements, her 'childish' behavior ('I want the toy'). I think that is the real issue, not only her different thoughts on relationships.
The girl seems a bit immature.
It's how she's justifying herself too much 😂
Recently found this channel and it has become one of my favourite RUclips channels! So many great stories 😊
Wasn't rude what he said at all, if he slept with another woman then went to meet her she'd want him to wash himself first.
Unless all three were in a polyamorous relationship together. He said what he said because he was ignorant.
@@krashd theres nothing ignorant at all about what he said.
There should’ve been clear communication in the beginning. If he was uncomfortable with it should’ve been discussed before hand. You can’t try to change someone into being monogamous if she’s not comfortable with that, just like she shouldn’t try to change him into becoming polyamorous if he’s not comfortable with it. They seem great but won’t be able to overcome that obstacle sadly
Finally!
Really? So all the cheaters in this world are Polygamous?
@@Itsunclegabby We’re definitely on the same page. I wish people could see what we’re are saying or do their own research to get it.
@@arb1897 No they’re not. The people who cheat lack the communication skills to leave the relationship and be honest. Polygamy is done when ALL parties participating know what’s to come and set specific boundaries for themselves.
@@joshwilliams1135 that is actually sad......i mean the polygamy, it's like there's no hope, and full of STDs
read their body language for the car ride, its insane how much is portrayed, her nervousness, reassuring herself, checking on his body language, ive never seen someone portray actual body language in acting this well on her part
I have seen this before on another platform. The actors in this short were AMAZING! So spot on were they in this that it makes you feel like your in a documentary.
What an amazing short film, much love from Denmark to an underappreciated channel
Incredible! The acting is so real, so natural... I love how this is all in one take. Sometimes less is more. And I love all the metaphors! What an amazing film - well done to those who made this!
Moral of the story: Don't use tinder
And don’t date
@@guest0803 good idea

Choose one chef… ask him to make all the meals you want. Trust me. They are willing to learn!!!
Great acting chops by these two young actors!
You could even 'Mute' the sound off, and just enjoy the natural chemistry - as if one was watching a couple on the other side of the windshield.
How did they manage this and in a single take no less, no cuts just once straight through... impressive
Are they a couple or not? I would leave a girl if she sleep with other men while is dating me
Very smart. That is NOT a keeper.
Know what you're getting into in the first place. COMMUNICATION.
They all do it. They have so many options. Us men are always so thirsty.
She's polyamorous, and he was aware of that when he started dating her. Clearly he's the one that's not comfortable with it and shouldn't be lecturing her about how monogamy is the only way.
So he knew she was polyamorous but wasn't open to her seeing other people? Why was he with her then?
Maybe he was hoping he could have changed her perhaps
@@paulasimon6875 then that's not right, it's like a guy saying he could be the one to turn a gay girl straight
He just found out
@@manar4120 Watch it again. It clearly wasn't a secret. Besides, I'm sure that was on her profile. He just chose to ignore it until he was confronted with it.
@@manar4120 no he didn’t
That girl got on my damn nerves.
I feel uncomfortable . . . I guess reality can be super uncomfortable . . . this amazing film probes deep . . . right down to that place where many of us squirm . . .
The acting in this one is unreal
I would never accept an open relationship and it's good that they talked about it at the very beginning of their relationship because honesty is the first thing, always.
I've met guys like that, no thank you, I'm not wasting my time and my feelings with someone who considers me just one of the fish in the pond.
Amazing. Great energy. Well acted and beautifully directed.
There's no right or wrong. They're just different.
she really needs to stop smacking her lips when she chews it’s triggering lmao
I came here to say this. As soon as she started eating, she was a nope for me.
yes, it's DISGUSTING
Tastes better that way...
their acting was on point
The acting is so natural!
Amazing script. True circumstances portrayed in such a fun way. good timing. good acting. liked the metaphors.
They acted so natural.
I REALLY liked this one. One of my earthy-crunchy friends explained polyamory to me once and I understood him just fine; but I would have loved for the conversation to unfold while we enjoyed a little McDs. Actually, he's so earthy-crunchy I'm sure he believes McDs is satan's handiwork.
I mean...
THIS NEEDS TO BE LONGERRRR
Jealousy is such an untamed creature! Not very often do couples discuss their relationship in terms of food. Nice line to settle the issue with "I'm gonna get some sauce" :)
Nice movie and good acting, especially the guy!
Yes, very real, excellent in every department. Thank you so much to all involved ❤️
I think some people are not understanding what's going on in this film: these two met on Tinder. Presumably, Beccs was open from the beginning that she was polyamorous, so Joshua knew what he was getting into. When Beccs sees another partner of hers, JJ, calling, she's excited for Joshua to meet him, because she cares about both of them (Joshua didn't seem comfortable meeting JJ though, and I think her answering the call, let alone putting him on speaker was very insensitive). After she hangs up with JJ and says, "He's the one who taught me about polyamory," it's clear by Joshua's reaction that he was already aware of her relationship style. So this is certainly not him learning for the first time that Beccs is free to see/is seeing other people. She is being weirdly evasive about who else she's dating and what she even considers "dating," which is a serious communication issue on her part and a failure to establish boundaries. But the main problem is that Joshua isn't comfortable with her relationship style and likely never has been. The conversation they're having in the car should have been had long before they established a relationship, and the way Joshua is demeaning her relationship style and life choices is pretty toxic. She needs to be clear on what she wants, and if he can't handle it, then better they should figure that out sooner rather than later and break it off.
This seemed like a real conversation! How did you guys do the wonder???? I'm mesmerized!
I know this conversation very well. I have been here before, it never ends well
Idk who she is but she’s a good actor, I loved and hated her character at the same time
"I need to dip my chips in many sauces" Explains it all.
Absolutely captivating dialogue!!!
She has all these boyfriends already and home dog needed tinder just to find her. "well you can date other women" bish, hes having a hard enough time dating just you lmao. how important is jay jay, really? Nothing wrong against poly, but you have to know what you want and go with it. Its hurtful to watch her try and get him into a poly relationship, and vice versa. They are simply not for each other. i couldnt do poly. While im at work, youre out to dinner ? Then i come home and eat a pb and j sandwich cause youre full from jay, yeah no thanks. lol. very good video. At the end of the day, you got to pick your meal. If she wants poly, she needs to refine her tinder account saying shes into poly (and he saying hes not) ez pz
in the states, tinder is an app known for hooking up. So dude is fully in on this confusion as well. It is a lesson to be clear about intent. Why go on a sight know for casual links and believe there could even be something longterm with out reestablishing common intent. Homegirl doesn't realize at first how on the one hand her view of polyamory is having a taste of everything; the other hand suggests you merely get a taste or how dude puts it; forgo the chance of being viewed as special. To each their own. Natural points of view, broken hearts or just ways of life may have us believing one thing or the other and that may change, it's just important to be real with self and share that intent with others.
Agreed
There is a whole lot of wrong with poly
@@carltonthepug Spoken by someone who probably hasn't practiced it.
I wish this was a whole show
Good theyre both honest about what they want. Although the girl is just not sure exactly. She wants all sauces. But has to face choosing only one sauce . Good film

Great film. One shot. Love it.
So we're not going to talk about how quickly they got there food
CONGRATS ON 3 MILLIONS SUBS!
Ahhh nice, I really like the feel here.Good story too.well done
I believe relationships are about compromise, but I also believe there are things about every person that they will never negotiate: monogamy, children, money, etc.
The way they were joyously singing in the beginning, Im most curious to know what happened in the scene just before that. 😉.
God knows I’ve had this conversation before 😅
stellar performance, great script
should've disclosed that one detail on your profile, just saying
Woulda told that chick to get outta the car lol cos the streets is waiting
Apt representation of dating world nowadays🙂
Yeeesh. Feel bad for him.
Mcdonald's is gross.
Run bro. Run.
She smacks to much. I can't handle who eat like that
I'm guessing he didn't come back with sauce and just jumped on the bus. Secondly, how can u not see the Golden Arches when looking for a Mcds?
brilliant, so immersive. Really very inspiring.
Polygamy will work only if everyone thinks the same like a hive mind. Till then monogamy is the right choice for the happiness of both parties and if it doesn't work out can try again but having multiple people at the same time just doesn't feel right or possible
Monogamy obviously is not the right choice for both parties pictured here. If that was the case, they wouldn't have had the conversation in the first place. Simply, if you want a monogamous relationship, don't enter a relationship with someone into Polyamory.
Polyamory
Polygamy spreads disease, often antibiotic resist diseases. People who engage in it are objectively bad people.
word, I think the way we view polyamory or polygamy in real life not just dictionary definition, it will fail at some point one person's needs are not met over the needs of another lover's being met.
Damn, great acting, one continuous shot.
Good on you McDonald’s that was more like a minute break!👍🏼
The person taking their order: 👁👄👁👂
As someone who's been into alleged poly person im surprised people are saying they were communicative and straight forward with eachother because she should've been straight up about it from the beginning. My biggest pet peeve is they don't tell you from the beginning you have to find out about it later when the other person pulls through Infront of you like that phone call and it will leave you in a confusing ugly spot when its mentioned
