In a future where body modification is limitless, a man obsessed with altering himself faces an unexpected enemy — his own heart, determined to stop him before it’s too late. Inspired by the Flash Forward podcast episode Easy Baked, this film delves into the struggles of dysmorphia within an ever-changing world constantly striving for perfection.

On the fringe of the Australian film industry, where actors dream of getting their big break on free-to-air TV, we meet Eli — a hustler who feels entitled to a future as the next ‘Asian male lead’. One problem: his best friend AJ (a recent dad who had given up on acting) has bagged the role Eli thought was his — the romantic lead of an all-Asian rom-com entitled Melting Pot. Equipped only with his ability to twist the arms of those around him, Eli will do anything to win back the role of a lifetime — other than go to therapy.

A daughter navigating mental illness and her overbearing Asian immigrant mother try to reconcile the cultural conflict of their relationship through an unconventional family therapy session.
