Paul is agonising over his interpretation of 'Uncle Vanya' and, paralysed by anxiety, stumbles upon a solution via a New Yorker article about a high-tech company promising to alleviate suffering by extracting souls. He enlists their services—only to discover that his soul is the shape and size of a chickpea.

Great premise but doesn’t fully deliver on it unfortunately. Definitely reminiscent of Being John Malkovich but just feels way thinner, too bad

Other than my girlfriend and my mom, Paul Giamatti might have my favorite sounding voice.
