The Hypnosis

"The Hypnosis is a comedy film produced by Norway and Sweden, which, akin to the satirical and sharp spirit of the Norwegian The Worst Person in the World, dives into the world of personal expectations and romantic relationships. The story follows a couple who get the chance to pitch their startup to a group of investors at a competition. However, before the day, the wife tries hypnotherapy to quit smoking, with unexpected – and catastrophic – results. From there, the film offers a satire on conformity in relationships, appearances, and personal freedom, with a style of biting humor that will make you not only laugh but also squirm (a similar experience to Sick of Myself)."
