The internet and its online communities intend to bring people closer together and to connect them. Yet, surprisingly, it seems that the virtual world confronts these so-called vloggers more than ever with their own loneliness. The documentary allows a viewer to discover this contemporary phenomenon and focuses on the experience of a body within this virtual space. By means of visual material gathered from online sources, the film makers create a unique poetic realm in which thoughts, fears, desires and worries, shared via the webcam, merge together.
