A soul searching comedy.

Paul is agonising over his interpretation of 'Uncle Vanya' and, paralysed by anxiety, stumbles upon a solution via a New Yorker article about a high-tech company promising to alleviate suffering by extracting souls. He enlists their services—only to discover that his soul is the shape and size of a chickpea.

A darkly funny, introspective journey into the anxieties of modern life. It's a quirky, philosophical exploration of what makes us human, wrapped in a deadpan, indie aesthetic. Feels like a thoughtful, slightly absurd conversation.
