Anxious People: A Heartfelt Comedy of Errors

It’s New Year’s Eve, and what should have been a routine apartment viewing takes a wildly unexpected turn when a desperate and hopelessly inept bank robber stumbles in and accidentally takes everyone hostage.

Inside, an eclectic mix of strangers—each with their own secrets and struggles—find themselves in an absurd and unexpectedly life-changing predicament. Anna-Lena and Roger, a bickering couple trying to mend their marriage through real estate investments, suddenly have a new problem to solve. Julia and Ro, expectant mothers-to-be, already drowning in anxieties, now have one more thing to worry about. Zara, a lonely and jaded bank manager, only wanted to enjoy the view. And 87-year-old Estelle? Well, she’s just happy for the company.

As tensions rise and the police surround the building, these unlikely hostages start to realize they may have more in common than they ever imagined. With humor, heart, and a keen understanding of human nature, Anxious People is a poignant and uplifting story about mistakes, second chances, and the beautifully messy ways we are all connected.
