Anna closes her laptop after another video call with her mother. The screen goes dark, and in the silence of her small apartment, only the echo of unspoken words remains. She works as a remote psychologist, listening to strangers' problems through a monitor, yet cannot find the words for her own life. The 2026 drama explores contemporary loneliness in an age of hyper-connection, where distance is measured not in kilometers, but in awkward pauses during conversation. The film observes a week in Anna's life as her routine of sessions, food deliveries, and aimless scrolling begins to crack. A sudden internet disconnection becomes not an act of protest, but a desperate attempt to hear her own thoughts. Director Kasia Nowicka paints a portrait of a generation that learned to express emojis but forgot how to speak about fear.
