“The mundane daily life of Evelyn, a struggling laundromat owner, suddenly collapses. Among the infinite possibilities of the multiverse, only she can save all universes—alternate versions of herself appear one after another: a world with hot dog fingers, a world of only rocks, a world where she became a movie star… Every possibility crashes in simultaneously. Her relationship with her daughter, her bond with her husband, and the meaning of her own existence—everything is questioned amid chaos. Googly eyes symbolize this rhapsody of love, nihilism, and the multiverse. A24’s unprecedented sci-fi comedy-action-family drama. Academy Award winner of 7 Oscars.”
