Belgian writer and director Alex Stockman taps into the terrifying phobia of technology with this thriller. The story about Samuel who works in Brussels as a pharmaceutical delivery man while his girl friend has found a prestigious job in New York. The internet is the only way they can keep their long distance relationship going that also gives Samual sanity and security while suffering from loneliness and dissatisfaction with his life.
