Original title
Being Erica
Storyline
"Therapist" Dr. Tom, who is constantly spouting famous and not-so-famous historical quotes, is Erica Strange's savior and worst enemy. Erica, a young woman, is having a bad life because of the bad decisions she's made, and she provides Dr. Tom with a long list of those pivotal moments in her life that she feels have led to the bad state she is in today. She's initially unaware of what he intends to do with this list: he will transport her back in time to each of these moments so that she, with "what she knows now", can make better decisions to fix her life. Regardless of these new decisions, Dr. Tom hopes that Erica will come to the realization that although others' opinions of her life matter, what matters more is what she thinks of her life and decisions.
