A story about how increasingly difficult it is for young people to determine their self‑worth, as the pressure of social media makes you feel as though liking yourself is not enough. Somehow, you have to be liked by others as well. A source of tension and fertile ground for countless insecurities.
“I post a video on social media. Nobody presses like. Therefore, nobody likes me. My actions are worthless.” There is no value in doing things solely for your own enjoyment. Actions become a hunt for external validation.
The protagonists of the production are two young people trying to win such external validation. They meet a benefactor who helps them earn popularity, but, as it turns out, the benefactor is pursuing his own interests, and the quest for popularity sets the two youngsters on a dangerous path.
