Brief synopsis
Paula (32) does nothing and she loves it, only the others do not understand.
Paula decided to live her dream: idleness. Since then, she has been happy, watching people in the park, riding the subway as long as she wants, drinking iced coffee, and cleverly tricking the job center to not have to take a job and still escape sanctions. The only thing she wishes is that her friends would also become self-proclaimed failures like her, so that they could do nothing together. But her environment oscillates between incomprehension and envy. When the job center clerk urges her to write applications, she unexpectedly finds herself in the awkward situation of a job interview and tries with all her might to make the interview fail. But the young StartUp boss finds exactly that original and Paula has to develop new strategies to stay true to idleness.
