André and Vera are a young entrepreneurial couple. They get the opportunity to pitch their female health app at a prestigious competition. Before going there, Vera tries hypnotherapy to quit smoking. From this point, her attitude changes and André starts to behave unexpectedly.

Ernst De Geer's feature film debut is a fresh, modern satire, peppered with situational comedy and relatable dialogues.

The film premiered at this year's Karlovy Vary Film Festival, where Herbert Nordrum won the Best Actor Award.
