Synopsis
Under the shade of an inflatable plastic palm tree, the day passes lazily across sunlit plains.
The characters that populate them are subtly infiltrated by a force that shapes social interactions,
redefines leisure activities, and relentlessly harvests the data they create: the internet is feeding on them.
With the looming rise of generative AI, it seems closer than ever to swallow them whole.
But what happens when the dream they helped inflate no longer needs them to sustain itself?
