Brief synopsis

A bright yellow room. On the inside, a smart showmaster philosophizing about digital media.
The guests: Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
The hurried browsing of pictures on the internet encourages the superficial gaze. We want information, in handy portions and rapidly consumable. Do the really important issues disappear amidst the cat videos, selfies and sensational news?
The showmaster’s sometimes profound, sometimes absurd one man show is interrupted time and again by documentary images from the Ukraine. A country in a state of war - the footage, however, shows calm streets and peaceful squares.
Only for the show?
