When Bari, a pessimistic professor of nihilism, develops an unusual condition that makes her joyful for the first time, life takes a hilarious turn. Enter Mike, a man who makes art out of garbage, and now it’s Bari’s turn to pull someone else out of the darkness. But there’s a catch—the condition might be killing her! Will she choose a short, blissful life or go back to her miserable self? This quirky romantic comedy explores love, happiness, and whether joy is a choice or beyond our control.
