Stockholm Film Festival

Jackie works as a secretary in a law firm. One evening she invites her colleague Michael from work for dinner, a date, she believes. The meeting is tentative. They eat and drink wine, however the atmosphere remains uneasy. Jackie is set on becoming a writer, something she tells Michael about. After dinner she reads from her own macabre story titled: What Happened Was… When she admits to Michael that she was attracted to him because he is a writer, he admits that he may not be whom she believed him to be. This does not put Jackie off her attempts in trying to seduce him.

The evening becomes one of revealed secrets and dreams. In the end they have to find out if their drastically changed impressions of each other makes a future acquaintance possible.

The director Tom Noonan, also in one of the leading parts, recieved the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival in 1994 as well as The Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award for his screenplay for What Happened Was. . .
