The Nobodies

One morning Lily and Ben wake up to find their bodies swapped with someone they barely recognize, setting off a cascade of comic mixups and awkward discoveries. In the guest room, Magalie occupies the body of a tall, bearded grown man, which only adds to the confusion. As the trio stumbles through a sequence of mistaken identities, a surprisingly simple embrace can reverse the swaps, sending them careening into new forms and new social clashes. The film follows their attempts to reclaim a sense of normal so they can repair friendships strained by misfit bodies, clumsy rituals of affection, and the ridiculous consequences of identity swapping. Their attempts to hide the chaos playing out around them create awkward yet funny set pieces, such as mistaken identities at a kitchen table, misread conversations on the phone, and a late night plan that goes hilariously awry.
