Synopsis

Josip is a football player recovering at a health spa from a knee injury seriously threatening his career. Between sessions with his self-absorbed physiotherapist and visits from his soon to be ex-girlfriend and former best friend, he starts to realise that he needs to rediscover himself. To be happy with who he is, he first must get out of his own skin. So, when he stumbles onto a sales conference at the spa and gets mistaken for someone else, he embraces his new identity and explores life from a new perspective on a quest to find his true self. But as he steps out of his own mind, many lines begin to blur.
