How far are you willing to go for social media fame? With this question at its core, the short film introduces us to the life of an aspiring influencer who gets fixated on the idea of securing a million views for his next video. In the process, the narrative becomes a pertinent comment on people's obsession with virtual glory, to the extent of dismissing, ignoring, and even completely rejecting those around them who do not fully comprehend or understand it.
As his father struggles with household chores and financial troubles, our protagonist is consumed by his own obsession, rage towards a father who failed to secure enough money for a family member's medical treatment, thereby failing his family, and his deep disdain for the traditional route of stable employment.
While this desire to finally create a viral video continues to grow disproportionately, hand-in-hand with absolute disregard for more pressing, immediate concerns, a deeply disconcerting development awaits within the narrative. Will the protagonist truly manage to clinch a million views, and if or when he does, at what cost will this goal be finally achieved?
