The room’s too hot, the lights are too bright, and the heartburn tablets are nowhere to be found.

The room’s too hot, the lights are too bright, and the heartburn tablets are nowhere to be found. Exploring loyalty, trust, and vulnerability, ‘Pillow Talk’ offers a ‘fly-on-the-wall’ perspective on a couple as they delve into a carousel of revelations during the early hours of the morning on one of the most important days of their lives.
