Synopsis: A woman gets dumped by her boyfriend as everyone else in the world is deeply in love. After a painful conversation at a diner ends their relationship, the woman sets out to find herself in the park on a walkabout. However, she finds that everyone (and every thing) in the park happens to be deeply in love and, with the help of Brooklyn's best alternative comedy freaks, they just rub it in her face. Fareeha Khan writes and stars in this absurdist short.

Vulture wrote: "She’s achieved a seemingly insurmountable feat by somehow cracking a new shade of awkward, stoner-y, lovable aloofness. Just when we thought we’d seen every color in that rainbow and heard every change in that frequency, she’s gone and changed the game.”
