00:00Once upon a...
00:02You never let me do anything!
00:05I'm trying to protect you.
00:07Hold on. Who are these people? Why are they fighting?
00:11Let's rewind to understand a bit.
00:14It's a beautiful morning and our story begins right now.
00:19Hmm...
00:21This is Sal.
00:22I'm Sal.
00:23I'm Sal.
00:24I'm Sal.
00:25I'm Sal.
00:26And now...
00:28Hmm...
00:30This is Sal.
00:31A morning person.
00:33An amazing cook.
00:35And...
00:36A mom.
00:38To her beloved girl, Talia.
00:41Good morning, sunshine.
00:44Uh...
00:46Do I have to go to school?
00:49Well, it'd be such a shame if your friends missed out on seeing your awesome project.
00:56I know I love it.
00:58Yup.
01:00It would be fun to show it off.
01:05Sally began to get Talia ready.
01:08Brush it clean.
01:10Squeaky clean.
01:12Hmm...
01:14Mm-hmm...
01:17Huh?
01:18Yes!
01:22This is yummy, Mama.
01:24Thank you, baby.
01:26And they were soon at school.
01:28I'll see you later, okay?
01:33Love you.
01:35Love you, too.
01:43Hey, Sally.
01:45Hi, Marge.
01:46Off to work?
01:47I don't know how you do it.
01:50What? Single mom?
01:52Juggling with work, a child, and housework?
01:55Tons of coffee, little sleep, and oodles of love.
01:59Sally the super mom.
02:01That's what you are.
02:03Sally was indeed super, even at work.
02:07Her efficiency was astounding.
02:10Thanks, Sally.
02:11You're amazing.
02:13Just doing my job, boss.
02:15She was admired by everyone for her diligence.
02:18After work, she picked up Talia from school and went grocery shopping.
02:23At home, Sally whipped up a nourishing meal for both of them.
02:29Mom, may I play a bit before bed?
02:32All right. I'll take a look at the bills.
02:36Sally's income was decent,
02:38but rising expenses and Talia's growing needs
02:41left her feeling financially stretched.
02:44I should take on more work.
02:46I think it's time for bed.
02:51Talia? Oh, dear.
02:54The floor was strewn with playthings,
02:56and Talia was fast asleep on the sofa.
02:59Sally cleaned up the toys and then carried her to bed.
03:03Good night.
03:07To manage expenses, she took on extra work,
03:10but the additional hours meant she often left work late.
03:15Marge, will you look after Talia after school?
03:18I'll pick her up from your place after work.
03:20Happy to.
03:22Sally worked hard and often came home exhausted.
03:26Mom, can we have that chicken and spinach dish you made last time?
03:31Oh, well...
03:33Please?
03:35All right, sweetie.
03:37Sally laid all her love and energy into the dish her daughter so wanted.
03:43Mom? Mom!
03:45Huh? What?
03:47You dozed off.
03:50But no matter what came her way,
03:52she always put her daughter first
03:54and made sure she handled every situation with love and grace.
03:59Time went by, and Talia grew into a teen.
04:03Mom, I'm going out with my friends.
04:06What about breakfast?
04:07Pancakes.
04:10I'll grab something at the mall. Bye.
04:13Oh, okay. Love...
04:20Hey, Tal.
04:22Hi, Alice. Ryan.
04:25Brendan's throwing a party tonight.
04:28A party?
04:30We're all going. You coming?
04:32Oh, definitely.
04:34Back at home, Marge was visiting Sally.
04:37Enjoying the terrible teens?
04:39She isn't terrible. Just growing.
04:42Wish I could say the same.
04:44Mine's always indoors, screaming at his computer games.
04:48Lucky. Talia's almost never home.
04:51That evening, Sally saw her daughter posing in front of the mirror.
04:56That's pretty.
04:57Right? I'm attending Brendan's party tonight.
05:00Sally was shocked.
05:02Isn't Brendan the one who bullies those juniors?
05:05Well, yeah, but it's...
05:08Talia, you're not going to this party.
05:11What? But all my friends will be there.
05:16I'm sorry, Tal. I don't trust that boy.
05:19That isn't fair, Mom.
05:21But Sally remained firm.
05:23The next day, Talia met her friends at school.
05:27Tal, you ditched us last night.
05:30Mom didn't let me.
05:32Bummer. Want to see the pictures we took?
05:34Ooh. Mind sharing them?
05:37What in the Stone Age is that?
05:40Mom got it for me last year.
05:42Ew. You need an update.
05:45Lay off her, Alice.
05:46Talia blushed.
05:48That night, she nervously glanced at Sally.
05:51Mom, I need a new phone.
05:54Huh? Is that one spoiled?
05:56No. My friends have the latest ones.
06:00So being seen with this old dump is embarrassing.
06:06Tal, you beg me to buy that for you.
06:09If it's working, then there's no reason to buy a new one.
06:12But...
06:13Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
06:19Hey, Tal.
06:21Alice?
06:22Brendan and his friends are here.
06:24Talia looked out and saw a group of people on motorbikes.
06:28They're all going for a night ride. Come on!
06:31Oh, wow! Let me just...
06:34I'm sorry, Alice. But Talia won't be joining you.
06:39Sally closed the door.
06:41Why did you do that?
06:43I've told you. I don't trust him. And Alice, too.
06:47Also, they aren't wearing helmets.
06:50And who knows how dangerously they drive.
06:52It's like I'm in prison.
06:55No motorbikes, no parties, no new phone.
06:58You never let me do anything.
07:01I'm trying to protect you.
07:03No, you're trying to control me.
07:08Talia stormed off to bed, crying.
07:11Sally sighed heavily.
07:14Oh, baby.
07:20I wish you could just...
07:22See things from...
07:24My perspective.
07:32Talia?
07:35Talia, what's...
07:37Huh?
07:38I'm... I'm...
07:42You!
07:43What exactly?
07:44We've clearly switched bodies, Mom.
07:47But how?
07:49Oh, baby. Don't worry.
07:51Don't worry? Mom, I'm a 50-year-old woman.
07:55I'm not 50, Tal.
07:58Sally thought hard.
08:04Maybe we should just go about our day normally.
08:07What?
08:08Look, we don't know how long this situation's going to last.
08:11But I've... I mean, you...
08:14We have school.
08:16Well, luckily, you can work from home.
08:20I'll just email them.
08:22Mom, I don't know if this is toxic optimism,
08:25or that you're just a Lulu.
08:28During breakfast, they filled each other in
08:31on what to expect at school and at work.
08:35You just need to fill in this data.
08:39You'll do fine.
08:41I hope so.
08:43And about school...
08:45Relax. I used to be a straight-A student.
08:49I need to do the grocery and laundry.
08:51Sure.
08:57At the beginning, things were relatively fine.
09:02This is easy. Huh?
09:04She started receiving more work.
09:07Hold on. I can't finish this by the evening.
09:11What does this lady want? Oh, no.
09:14Sally, on the other hand, was dealing with a surprise math test.
09:19I'm gonna ace this.
09:21Hmm. Hmm. Hmm.
09:24Was math always so tough?
09:26Meanwhile, Talia was struggling at home.
09:29Which button?
09:33Is this enough soap?
09:35She later attempted to make a chicken wrap.
09:37Oh, no.
09:39A plate.
09:41Drat. I didn't do the dishes.
09:45Huh?
09:47Talia rushed towards the machine...
09:50and saw bubbles pouring out.
09:53What the freak? Uh-oh.
09:55It's not even evening, and I'm already so exhausted.
09:59In the evening, Sally came home.
10:01Oof. Teen social life is tough.
10:08Huh?
10:10LOL skull emoji?
10:12Is this person in trouble?
10:15Mom.
10:17I'm beat and starved.
10:20Since there weren't any groceries,
10:22Sally made sandwiches, which they munched up quietly.
10:26The next day was luckily a weekend, but Talia was grumpy.
10:30I have to walk to the stores?
10:33Neither of us can drive a car,
10:35and since I'm cooking and doing laundry,
10:37you need to do the groceries.
10:39Ugh. Fine.
10:43At the store, she went around, confused, staring at a list.
10:47What's wheat flour?
10:49Is self-rising the same?
10:53She went from store to store,
10:56carrying the heavy bags and dragged herself home.
11:00Ugh. This sucks.
11:02Welcome home. Come have lunch.
11:04Pasta?
11:06There weren't many ingredients.
11:12I don't want pasta.
11:14Alice just asked me to go to the movies, and I can't go.
11:18I'm sick of this.
11:20Talia ran out of the house, frustrated.
11:23She wandered around until she reached the park.
11:27She sat down and glared at the pond.
11:31Sally?
11:32Huh?
11:33Oh, hi, Mrs. Uh, I mean, Marge.
11:37I'm here for a stroll. You okay?
11:41Uh, yeah. It's just Mom. I mean, Talia.
11:45She's so annoying. Everything's annoying.
11:49Wow. I've never heard you complain about Talia.
11:53Talia was surprised.
11:55Never once?
11:56Remember those nights where you'd soothe her to sleep when she was a baby?
12:00Other moms grumbled about losing sleep.
12:03You didn't.
12:06You'd cook up amazing meals after a hard day's work,
12:10when she became a picky eater, but you never complained.
12:14Even now as a teen, you always put her first.
12:18You're an amazing mom.
12:20Talia began to think back about how hard her mom loved and cared for her.
12:25Thanks, Marge.
12:26Happy to help.
12:30Back at home, Sally was waiting for Talia.
12:33Hey, Talia.
12:35Oh, Ryan.
12:37Everything okay?
12:38Um, I'm just a bit stressed because of Tal- uh, I mean, Mom.
12:43Another fight, huh?
12:44Our parents really struggle to get us.
12:46They don't know what we deal with and how hard our lives are.
12:50That's... true.
12:52But I know you love her.
12:53I've seen the way your eyes sparkle when you talk about her.
12:56I do?
12:57Yep. Well, I'm off. See ya.
13:01Hmm.
13:03After a while, Talia returned.
13:06Tal, you're back.
13:08Look what I made with all the groceries you so wonderfully bought.
13:13Talia was stunned at the spread.
13:16I know things are tough, but we'll get through it.
13:20Mom, I'm sorry for all the mean things I've said and done to you.
13:24I didn't realize how hard it's been raising me.
13:27Talia!
13:28I couldn't do the grocery, the cooking, even the dishes kept piling up.
13:34Tal, I never realized how much you handle every day.
13:38And I had no clue being a teen in today's world was so complicated.
13:42I'm sorry, too, for not understanding you.
13:45And I don't like Alice.
13:48I don't like her either.
13:49But Ryan seems nice.
13:51Yeah.
13:52Mom, I think you're a super mom.
13:57And I love you.
13:59I love you a bit too much, my love.
14:02It was at this moment the two switched back.
14:05Oh, I'm back.
14:07Me, too.
14:09Happy you're no longer a 50-year-old lady.
14:12But you are at 50.
14:15And so, Sally and Talia began to navigate their lives together.
14:20Sally maintained super efficiency, but added empathy and flexibility to her ways.
14:26Talia, acknowledging her mom's efforts,
14:29appreciated the superhero persona while becoming her sidekick.
