IMBD​

​​​

A quiet, unseen young woman is stuck in the repetition of an unremarkable life—until a VR platform offers an escape: the chance to become the version of herself she’s always imagined. At first it feels comforting, even empowering. But as her virtual persona begins to thrive, the line between illusion and reality blurs. Her real life starts to unravel. What begins as fantasy turns to obsession in this haunting sci-fi about digital identity, emotional isolation, and the quiet violence of vanishing into who we wish we were.
