What is Your Place or Mine about?

Although the idea of finding a soulmate in a one-night stand pushes the idea of the movie being “realistic” out the window, it has other elements that retain it.

Furthermore, Debbie is a single parent who is striving to raise her kid as best as she can and while she is at it, she is also bit by bit forgetting her dream project.
