EVA COLLÉ – 25, drifter, Berliner, poet, pet-owner, sex worker, virgo, recovering addict, housewife, feminist, model – declared privacy an outdated concept at the age of 14.
This is the tale of a young woman growing up in the age of the internet, turning the search for oneself into a public spectacle, challenging you on what a woman should be. Through her fragmented personalities you see the emergence of a generation, in which the concept of a fixed identity has grown old.
A portrait of modern existence.
A portrait of dream groups where people study their dreams one at a time by discussing in small groups. Dream groups lead to the verge of shared humanity and to wonder what it is to be a human. How to define a human being. The most important thing is to listen not to find an answer. After a dream group you’ve been touched by something invisible.
