A short science fiction film, set in a world without privacy. A world where anybody can tune in to the life of another, at any time, as if they were a television show. The story focuses on Edward and Helen, a young couple who unwittingly discover a way to disconnect from this system. While they are initially elated to have some privacy in their lives, the eventual decay of their relationship begins to pose some problems. Blessed with the ability to keep secrets from one another, for the very first time in their lives, Edward and Helen find themselves exposed to trust.

The level of nudity required would not be full frontal, only partial.
For the most part, both actors would be required to be topless.
In the case of Edward, I require a few scenes of him performing his
morning routine in the bathroom. Namely, showering and shaving shirtless
in the mirror, and so forth. If the actor is comfortable, a side shot of
him sitting on the toilet would be ideal, but it is not absolutely
necessary.

Furthermore, both actors would need to feel comfortable laying in bed
together after an implied sex scene. Topless would be fine, and the
actor playing Helen could get away with wearing a strapless bra covered
by the bedsheet, if she was not entirely comfortable.

Edward

Edward is a quiet, sensitive type, who secretly yearns to express himself. He feels as if he has many things he would like to say and do, but like most people, isn't quite prepared to risk humiliation in order to say and do them. He retreats from the world as best he can, drinks too much, and sleeps as often as possible. Edward loves the escape that dreams bring. More than anything, he desires to be left alone. Except, perhaps, when it comes to Helen.

Helen

Helen comes across as fun-loving and bubbly, but certainly not stupid. She merely responds to the intense scrutiny of her everyday life by overcompensating. Secretly, she hates herself for no good reason, and sees all interactions as a smokescreen to distract others from seeing her as she sees herself. If she could be anything, she would be someone else.

Brad

[Minor Role] Brad is Helen's dashing male colleague. Although Brad is married, he and Helen share an ongoing attraction for one another. Of course, all flirtations aside, Brad would never actually cheat on his wife. No, Brad just thinks about cheating on his wife. All of the time.
