A first kiss is an intimate and sometimes nerve-wracking moment for any two people, but what happens if they have never met each other before? That's the theme that Los Angeles-based filmmaker Tatia Pilieva explores in her new video First Kiss, in which she asks 20 complete strangers to lock lips on screen - with some surprising results. While most of the participants laugh nervously to fill the awkward silences before their kiss, many of them become passionately lost in the moment when they finally lean in. The heartwarming video, which was made as an advertisement for clothing company Wren Studio, has already amassed more than 2.5million views. In the beginning of the film, each of the couples is introduced to each other and they giggle apprehensively as they prepare to take part in the experiment. It shows several strangers nervously introducing themselves with one even asking: "Can we please turn out the lights?" Before taking the plunge, another said: "This is pretty scary." But within a matter of seconds the strangers are locked in a passionate embrace, kissing each other as though they are deeply in love. It shows how quickly humans can develop strong attractions for each other.
