Synopsis: Pragma is an off-beat romantic comedy, set in a Post Graduate Partnering Programme, led by the world’s leading practitioner in sustainable love. We follow our protagonist Willow on a series of hilariously intense compatibility assessments lead by Dr Francis (Nick Mohammed) with an onslaught of outrageous suitors. She is left caught between a rock and a hard place asking herself the ultimate question; should you trust science or trust your heart (or let’s be honest…burning loins)?
