    • Synopsis
    • The world in a near future: The number of terrorist attacks has increased so drastically that encounters with other people and any form of cultural life can only take place in virtual space. Public gatherings are prohibited for security reasons. There are no more concerts, no more supermarkets, no theatre, no pubs.

      The psychologist Claire counsels survivors of terrorist attacks. When one day she finds a ticket, an analogue piece of paper, in the possession of a patient, she breaks out of her life in isolation. Driven by the need for community, she and her brother Aurel, a star trumpeter who for years has only stood in front of virtual audiences, plan a secret live concert in front of real, physically present people. With the help of the hackers Ada and Maximus, they succeed in realising their plan despite all adversities. When the mother of the siblings turns up shortly afterwards, an age-old conflict breaks out, confronting Claire with an insurmountable opponent: herself.
