Synopsis: Steady dating is considered a normal step in boy-girl relationships; yet, as is true of so many normal steps, "going steady" brings advantages and disadvantages, and many new problems. Sometimes going steady just happens; sometimes it is planned; and sometimes it is almost forced on a couple. This film tells the story of a young couple whose friends and fam- ilies think they are going steady. The couple is not as sure; and neither of them is certain that going steady is a good idea. Structurally and in the technique of its presentation, the film does not offer solutions to the problems of going steady; instead, it states varying points of view and leaves the problems unsolved.
