We Are in Need of Cosmic Help

A passive mother who dedicates her life to her husband and children. Stuck in daily, repetitive, mundane chores, she has made herself as little as she possibly could. When a magic trick goes wrong at her 4-year-old son's birthday party, an avalanche of coincidental absurdities befalls the family. The magician turns her husband, the authoritarian father, into a chicken. The mother is now forced to come to the fore and take care of the family while moving heaven and earth to bring her husband back. As she tries to survive, she goes through a rough and absurd transformation.

When a reserved young man, already struggling with obsessive-compulsive disorder, signs up for an exclusive paid dating service, he never expects to be matched with someone like her—a fiercely independent woman whose face bears the permanent marks of a childhood fire. What begins as a transactional arrangement quickly becomes anything but simple. As the two navigate their uneasy partnership, the young man's OCD spirals into paralyzing anxiety, while the woman wrestles with her own insecurities about trust and self-worth. Forced to step far outside his comfort zone, he embarks on an emotional journey—not just to honor the agreement, but to prove to himself that he can face fear, imperfection, and the messy reality of human connection.
