Mickey

Mickey sits on the edge of his bed in a room cluttered with toy boxes. He stares at his phone screen, where his father—a famous vlogger—is filming another clip about their 'happy family.' Off-camera, there is only silence, empty stares, and a childhood commodified for content. This 2026 documentary examines the phenomenon of show-family vlogging in the social media age, where personal boundaries blur for likes and subscribers. The camera follows Mickey through his daily routine, contrasting the vibrant online persona with a reality steeped in loneliness. The director captures moments when the child tries to simply be a child, not a character in a script. The film raises urgent questions about privacy, the exploitation of childhood, and the price of viral fame.
