A heartbroken man is forced to make amends with Mercury by living in a tent in his mother’s garden.
Underachiever Joseph has been dumped by his long-term girlfriend and his overprotective mother blames retrograde Mercury. To make amends with the planet, he is forced to spend a night in a tent in her garden while following a set of very eccentric rules with the goal of hopefully getting his life back on track. A bittersweet comedy short about how life kind of sucks but is also kind of hilarious at the same time - and how sometimes the help you want the least, is the help you need the most.
