Unicorn Store 2019

A young and captivating college student finds her world turned upside down when she fails a crucial art course due to an embarrassing presentation in front of her professors. This setback forces her to return to her parents’ home, where she spirals into a deep depression, grappling with the realization that her life is unraveling. However, hope appears when she takes on a new temporary job, which, while initially promising, becomes a source of frustration. Her sexist boss, played by Bradley Whitford, looms over her every move, and her coworkers, feeling threatened by her presence, give her the cold shoulder.

Amidst this chaos, she stumbles upon the Unicorn Shop, where she encounters a flamboyant character portrayed by Karan Soni. He presents her with an irresistible opportunity: if she can demonstrate that a nurturing and loving environment can be created, she will be rewarded with the promise of her very own unicorn. This newfound chance sparks a journey of self-discovery, leading her to connect with someone who truly understands her uniqueness and who is willing to help her create a stable for the unicorn.

As her parents come to terms with the consequences of their relentless focus on work over family, they begin to question their support for their daughter. They realize their shortcomings in nurturing her dreams, which catalyzes a profound revelation about their relationship. Meanwhile, as a promotion at her temp job becomes available, she struggles to embrace her inner creativity amidst the pressures that come from her environment. Her passion for unicorns and imagination eventually clashes with reality, leaving her feeling uncertain about her path forward.

In a moment of clarity, she understands that it doesn’t matter if others fail to appreciate her perspective. What truly matters is that she embraces her authentic self and lives the life she desires. This journey not only shapes her future but also redefines her relationship with her parents, paving the way to a brighter, more fulfilling tomorrow.
