Disconnect
“Look up.”
A hard-working lawyer, attached to his cell phone, can't find the time to communicate with his family. An estranged couple uses the internet as a means to escape from their lifeless marriage. A widowed ex-cop struggles to raise a mischievous son who cyber-bullies a classmate. An ambitious journalist sees a career-making story in a teen that performs on an adult-only site. They are strangers, neighbors and colleagues and their stories collide as ordinary people struggling to connect in today's wired world.
This film feels like a creeping dread, a mosaic of modern anxieties where the digital world's promise of connection often leads to profound isolation and danger. It's a somber, reflective experience that leaves you questioning the very fabric of your online existence, a stark mirror held up to our hyper-connected lives.
