Life Life Balance (2026)
Paula (32) is living her dream: a life of idleness. She enjoys people-watching in the park, riding the subway just forfun, and letting her imagination roam free. It could all be so wonderful if her surroundings weren't shiftingbetween misunderstanding, envy, and anger. When her job center counselor finally loses patience and forces herto start applying for jobs, her dream seems to be coming to an end.
