"An Inconvenient Love" follows the story of Ayef (Belle), a convenience store staff who dreams of becoming an international animator, and Manny (Donny), a boutique plant shop owner by day and secret social activist by night.
Both believing that love is just another one of life’s many inconveniences, they agree to a contractual kind of love — with an expiration date! As that dreaded expiration date nears, they deal with the dilemma of whether to end their contractual relationship or to face love by ending their inconvenient beliefs.
