SYNOPIS
Rena is on the threshold of adulthood and she lives with her mother in a cramped flat. For both of them, the Internet is a form of escape from their humdrum everyday lives. They may share their home, but the two of them live completely separate personal lives behind the closed doors of their rooms. Rena wants to become an acknowledged artist. In the world of social media sites, talent shows and YouTube, the keyboard seems to be gateway to fame and love. Yet the border between fantasy and reality is quickly obliterated. Is simply wanting something badly enough sufficient to make dreams come true?
