Synopsis/Details
A brainiac woman works in her living room apartment, applying nanotechnology to try and fuse chemical reactions into a perfect receptor protein, creating an event that will have men finally gaining equality with women. Yes, you heard it right. But more. Now she wants to take it further, for it to be the whole world all on song all at the same time. Despite scepticism from two colleagues, each in their own living rooms, she thinks it can be done through a transmission of her 'happy virus’ going straight into everyone's brains, bypassing innate defence systems that maintain differences come what may, where, at the deeper level, there really are none. And this must be done everywhere all at the same time. Everyone on the same wavelength and no problem is insurmountable. And then it really would be Heaven on Earth. The other two's doubts are gradually worn down by the enthusiasm coming through to them via a Zoom-type interchange. They raise glasses, pull on coats and set out to join forces at the woman's place.
