Synopsis

Sofia was recently hired as an empathy coach at a debt collection agency – and clearly, she has her work cut out for her.

These employees can barely identify what an emotion is, much less practice deep, radical compassion for others.

And while they painstakingly stumble towards enlightenment, someone keeps mugging Eva in the kitchen.

An outrageous comedy about the absurdity – and the danger – of a world where some people’s feelings matter more than others’.
