Synopse
Between virtuality and reality: a provocative thriller that dives deep into the abyss of modern dating. 20-year old student Margot meets 30-ish cineaste Robert at an arthouse cinema. A casual flirt develops into a text correspondence. While the pair head apparently unstoppably for romance, there are also more and more unpleasant moments and warning signals. Margot’s uneasiness grows, in her daydreams Robert takes on a certain threatening potential. Yet they still agree to go out on a date – and events start happening very fast.
