Good Fortune

In a restless metropolis where the ordinary collides with the celestial, a low‑ranking guardian angel watches over the streets, yet his official duties keep him tethered to the mundane task of preventing distracted driving accidents. Gabriel is well‑meaning but clumsy, more fascinated by lost souls than by the paperwork that defines his rank. His curiosity pushes him to linger over the lives of the very people he’s supposed to protect, hinting at a larger, unspoken mission that teeters between heavenly bureaucracy and personal ambition.

The city’s underbelly is embodied by Arj, a resourceful gig worker who makes a living hopping between odd jobs, delivering food, and sleeping in his car. He dreams of creating a documentary that gives voice to people like him, while juggling a budding romance with his coworker Elena, whose fierce commitment to unionizing their workplace adds both tension and hope to his otherwise precarious existence. Across the socioeconomic spectrum, Jeff moves through the same urban landscape as a polished venture capitalist, buoyed by wealth and accustomed to shaping the very platforms that feed the gig economy.

When Gabriel decides to intervene, his well‑intentioned meddling introduces a peculiar experiment: the possibility of swapping the fortunes of the struggling artist and the affluent investor. The premise sets up a delicate dance between aspiration and contentment, prompting each character to confront what they truly value amid the noise of traffic, digital apps, and midnight diners. Overseeing this celestial mischief is Martha, Gabriel’s supervisor, whose pragmatic approach reminds him that hope cannot be manufactured, only inspired.

The film balances whimsical humor with a heartfelt examination of modern labor, ambition, and the unseen forces that nudge lives in unexpected directions. As the city hums around them, Gabriel, Arj, Jeff, and Elena each stand at a crossroads, their intertwined stories promising both laughter and reflection without revealing how the experiment ultimately resolves.
