By Design (2026)

" e v e r y o n e  l i k e s  h e r  b e t t e r  n o w . "

A woman swaps her body with a chair, and the devastating twist is that her surroundings begin to value her far more in her inanimate form. The terminal hook that redefines existential comedy is how the narrative processes utility versus personality; while she's trapped in a wooden structure, she audits with horror how her silent new self is the perfect companion for a world obsessed with aesthetics. With an art-house aesthetic , the film uses magical realism to dissect the fragility of modern relationships. It's a provocative piece that forces you to process an uncomfortable truth about social submission.
