It's 3am and a comedian is having an off night. In a moment of desperation he begins to muse on love and life, his musings become the anchor to five stories of five isolated individuals. An expectant father waiting in a bar, an executive driving home, an astronaut in space, a young woman going for a late night swim and a singer waiting to go on stage are all experiencing a surreal moment of clarity.

In 'The Dance Exponents: Why Does Love?', a struggling musician embarks on a journey of nostalgia, love, and self-discovery as he reunites with his former bandmates to perform in a renowned music festival. Set in New Zealand, this drama highlights the power of music in bringing people together and the complexities of personal relationships.
