Through missed calls, images, and emojis, we access the digital intimacy of a young man torn between the expectations of himself and those around him.
Synopsis
The social media platform WhatsApp becomes the catalyst for a dual experience: it is where a young man creates a whimsical self-portrait while simultaneously confronting the somber reality of his aging grandfather’s decline. Through missed calls, texts, and a flood of images, emojis, and stickers, we are invited into the digital contradictions of a bodiless digital persona grappling with the mortality of one’s physical existence.
