   Summary

   Being single is a crime. Finding a partner is mandatory by law. Choosing the animal you want to transform into in case of failure is the only form of free will left.
   Locked up in a hotel for 45 days, Joel, a lonely man who has been kicked around by life, is just looking for someone who can mend his heart, in a world where love is defined by shallowness and meaningless rules.
