The Matchmaker
Synopsis
Amar is a creature of habit — quiet, solitary, and most at home among his matchboxes. So when a shy colleague at the match factory works up the courage to ask him out, his instinct isn’t to say yes. It isn’t even to say no. Instead, he decides to play matchmaker — steering her toward the charming regular at the village pub. A tidy solution. Except, of course, it isn’t.
