Synopsis

The maker of Glue and Unmade Beds delves yet deeper into youth culture. Lulu (Inès Efron) and Rocky (Samy Challah), from different corners of the world, meet in the virtual one.

Two people on opposite sides of the world enter into a relationship in a virtual world. Lulu and Rocky live in Buenos Aires and Berlin respectively. Their daily lives are very different to the exciting, fun virtual world they create for each other. –Rotterdam
