For 17-year-old Jennifer, gaming has always been part of everyday teenage life. Recently she has been feeling uncomfortable and lonely. Not so long ago she moved to Munich with her parents Frank and Ariane from another city. In her new home, the girl does not find a real connection with her new classmates. Fixed by the virtual reality game "Avalonia", gaming is gradually becoming the elixir of life. Jennifer neglects her school and family responsibilities. She ignores all admonitions, restrictions and prohibitions for every precious second of the game and betrays her parents. Only the secret, excessive immersion in the virtual fantasy world of "Avalonia" seems to make Jennifer happy. The Parents have to watch as their daughter's life gets completely out of balance between the real and the virtual world.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a quiet unease through the stark contrast between muted domestic spaces and the game's vibrant palette, exploring escapism as a response to adolescent alienation. It relies on restrained performances and deliberate pacing to amplify the protagonist's isolation.
What lingers after the credits is a sobering reflection on digital intimacy and familial disconnect. The film avoids easy judgments, instead presenting a poignant portrait of loneliness seeking refuge in pixels. — MovieFinder Editorial

Best Watched
Alone in a dim room, to fully absorb the quiet tension and screen-mediated claustrophobia.
