This is the tale of tragedy and woe of a young girl trying to function on her own accord in the real world yet finds herself being pulled into her own mind on a regular basis to do vicious battle with her own brain. Anne is another technical grown-up completely unable to function in the grown-up world. Her best friend is a dog and her archenemy and god-like hero both only exist inside her head, so it’s safe to say she’s got everything under control.Anne has a lot on her plate. She has to deal with school, her job, family and the evil Brain who keeps trying to foil her attempts at happiness. Every task minuscule task in her life is enhanced into a great battle between herself and Brain. Easy homework assignments, semi-important phone calls and running boring errands become life or death situations and that makes everyday life pretty hard. At the moment Anne is just trying to graduate university with passing marks, but that is easier said than done with the embodiment of evil living in your head. Sometimes she wins, sometimes she loses and sometimes she has to be bailed out by her wildly successful alter ego, Future Anne. In the end everything is supposed to work out, Anne is just worried that it won’t for her.In essence it is a never-ending story. How are we supposed to win when we are our own worst enemies? When the rest of the world seems to have everything sorted out already it can be hard to see your place, especially when you don’t want to settle for just any life. Anne doesn’t want fame or fortune, although it might be nice, she just wants to be happy. Life is constantly reminding her that finding happiness is easier said than done.
Cast:
Future Anne- Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No it’s Future Anne! Anne’s perfect alter ego who works out every morning, gets everything done on time and has a ton of self-confidence. When everything gets out of hand Future Anne is there to save the day. While constantly annoyed at Anne’s inability to do anything right Future Anne has no objections to cleaning up her messes and helping her find the ability to function like the grown woman she really is. Future Anne is everything Anne hopes to someday be, and can be when she’s able to get her life sorted out.
Geoffrey- At the end of it all Anne cannot count on anyone like she can count on her dog, most of the time. Every superhero needs a sidekick and Anne has Geoffrey, the fluffy dog-like creature who sleeps at the end of her bed. Geoffrey loves sugar cookies and going for rides in the car almost as he loves his owner. Everyone needs a shoulder to cry on and Anne has Geoffrey. Though not everyone can understand him, Geoffrey speaks to Anne a lot and is basically her fuzzy little anchor in her ongoing battles against Brain and life itself. For Anne people aren’t all that great, dogs are much better.
