Synopsis:

A self-proclaimed idiot plumber drinks magic toilet water which makes him super smart but when the concoction begins making Harold sick, he must stop consuming the potion and discover his own inner talents.

Genre – Drama & Comedy.

Meet Harold, the self-proclaimed 'plumbing genius' with a hilarious twist – he's about to become a true genius!

When Harold takes a sip of the unexpected (and quite magical) toilet water, his IQ skyrockets, unleashing an unexpected wave of super smarts! But, as they say, with great intelligence comes great... indigestion?

Join Harold on a gut-busting journey as he grapples with the hilarious highs and lows of newfound brilliance. But when the enchanting concoction starts making Harold sick, he's faced with a critical choice: will he continue down the path of genius or tap into his own, untapped potential?

This rollercoaster of laughter and self-discovery is a delightful blend of Drama and Comedy, promising a short film experience that's as heartwarming as it is side-splitting.

Don't miss out on the trailer – it's a sneak peek into the genius (and absurdity) that awaits!
