Description:
This dark comedy follows a stressed British advertising executive who unexpectedly develops a talking boil on his neck. The boil reflects the intense pressure from his boss and a quirky client who sells skin cream. As the boil voices his worries, it pushes the executive to examine his personal and professional life. Through wit, satire, and surreal humor, the film explores anxiety, work-life balance, and the ridiculousness of societal expectations.
