Dominik is a 'normal' teenager who seems to have it all; many friends, the prettiest girl in school and wealthy parents. But, one day at a party, a kiss turns everything around. Disappointed by his school friends, he takes refuge in the virtual world where he meets Sylwia, the founder of a community of suicidal teenagers. She leads Dominik into a dangerous game - trapped by his feelings and finding no help in the real world, he risks losing everything for what started off as a game.

First feature film by Jan Komasa, one of the most talented Polish directors of the young generation. For the first time in Poland, he has managed to create a movie in which the virtual world of avatars is almost as important as the real scenes with actors. It took it more than a year to finalize the animation part which lasts around 30mn. Due to the shocking story, this film is reserved for 16 years old and not advised for people with weak nerves.
