Beschreibung

Georgie quits his job at Oats Technologies to travel the world for one year, hoping to escape the daily existential discomfort of corporate life. But after a meditation guru robs him on his way to the airport, he awakens in a guest house in the rundown yet vibrant Panhandle neighborhood of his own city.
Alone with his smartphone and a desperate desire to assure his friends and family all is well, Georgie shares a photo of “authentic” boat noodles. To his surprise, everyone loves the post and believes he is overseas. Fascinated by this, Ant, a mixed media artist from Berlin, proposes a collaboration. With her vision and the help of a charming cast of guests and locals, Georgie’s unlikely adventures unfold in ways he never imagined. 
Philosophical, funny, and surprising, NICE PLACES subverts the familiar “go find yourself” story, unpacking a shared desire to find meaning, connection, and our place in the world.
