A smart, savage and hilarious debut exploring love, sexuality, purpose - and the delicious absurdities of online life Elsa is struggling. The relationship that defined her twenties is over, leaving her licking her wounds in her childhood bedroom and waitressing at her small town's only restaurant. While her parents tiptoe around her barbed angst, Elsa finds her sole distraction from heartbreak onscreen. Soon she is absorbing hours of content almost indiscriminately, from a tidying expert who extols the virtues of getting rid of one's baggage to vloggers who temporarily convince her of the life-changing power of watermelon brightening serum. And then there is the preternaturally charismatic young actor whose performance in his latest acclaimed feature seems to embody the very essence of her own anguish. When the actor turns up in Elsa's town, performing in a buzzy local play, Elsa's virtual and actual realities collide. But as she vies to infiltrate the young man's circle, she finds a new and very real connection forming with an unexpected person in his circle - a connection that forces her to contemplate her own identity and desires.
