Synopsis
Upon seeing a gorgeous chair in a showroom, Camille realizes that she truly envies the life of this perfect piece of furniture. If only she could be someone’s favorite thing. When she and the chair swap forms, Camille learns that she is better liked as an inanimate object than she was as a person: her mother finds her to be a better listener, and her best friends enjoy a newfound, friction-free rapport. As the chair, Camille is unable to speak or move and winds up in the hands of Olivier, a minimalist bachelor who gradually becomes romantically fixated on his elegant new possession.
