Zara lives in a perfect world. No poverty, no war. She’s even been implanted with an electronic chip that will extend her life forever. So, why does she want to end it all?
To be allowed to die, Zara must debate her fate with an android therapist and overcome the human drive to survive. ‘Good Day’ is a new dark comedy that explores how we find meaning in our lives and asks whether immortality is really all it’s cracked up to be.
