The Purpose Project (2025-)

In a world where traditional employment has dissolved, the government's new Purpose Project pairs unlikely citizens. A directionless stoner is assigned to a cynical soon-to-be-retiree, their clashing perspectives forming the core of a mandated partnership. Their daily interactions, from navigating bureaucratic check-ins to confronting empty hours, define this new social experiment. The initiative’s success hinges on such volatile matches finding common ground outside any conventional office. The air in their assigned meeting space is thick with apathy and reluctant conversation.
