In a monotonous and crushing work environment, a programmer named Peter Gibbons struggles to find meaning in his life at a dull technology company. As he navigates through gray, unenthusiastic days, Peter feels trapped in a soulless job, surrounded by equally demotivated colleagues. When, due to a hypnosis mishap, he decides to stop worrying about his job and live day by day, he begins to experience an unexpected sense of liberation. With the support of his girlfriend and his free-spirited friend, Peter realizes the absurdity of the corporate system that surrounds him.
As he distances himself from the company’s expectations, he becomes the center of attention in the office. His carefree attitude attracts the attention of his bosses, who promote him to new responsibilities. However, with his newfound status, Peter also begins to conspire with his friends on a plan to steal a small sum of money through a computer fraud scheme. Amidst the madness, hilarious conflicts arise with an insufferable boss and a narrow-minded software writer. When the plan becomes more complicated than expected, the consequences escalate, and Peter must decide how far he is willing to go.
With sharp humor and a satirical critique of work life, this film becomes a fascinating exploration of mediocrity, greed, and the quest for purpose in a world where work seems to dominate everything.
