The Pause Button

What would you sacrifice for an extra 60 seconds in your day?

'The Pause Button' follows Jessica, an overwhelmed single mother juggling a demanding legal career and raising her young daughter Abby. When a mysterious elderly woman appears outside her daughter's school, Jessica receives an extraordinary gift that promises to solve her time management struggles. But as she begins using this newfound power, she discovers that manipulating time comes with unexpected consequences.

In this thought-provoking tale about the choices we make under pressure, Jessica must navigate the delicate balance between control and chaos, efficiency and presence. As the lines between time management and time manipulation blur, she faces increasingly difficult decisions that challenge her understanding of what truly matters.
