What do a 66-year-old widowed misanthrope desperate to hang up his career as a psychotherapist and a young medical receptionist with literary ambitions and a permanently unstable state of mind have in common? 100 days!

100 days stand between Dr. Magnus Schreiber and his long-awaited retirement; 100 days is what Nelly Montagu gives herself to transform into a confident, successful and happy woman. But those 100 days are anything but simple - especially when Nelly and Dr. Schreiber cross paths every single day. Roles get swapped, dreams get questioned, and more than a few social clichés get torn apart with sharp, unsparing humour. All while a growing queue of desperate patients waits to be seen.

A musical comedy about life's small traps and its unexpected gifts.
