Anna, Francesco, and the eight years old Giorgio can't afford a fancy holiday. Social pressure makes them fake a Bahamas vacation through photoshopped posts on social media. The deluge of likes/comments fuel an all-consuming dopamine rush.
Anna, Francesco e il figlio Giorgio di otto anni non possono permettersi una vacanza da sogno. Temendo di perdere la loro reputazione, decidono di fingere la vacanza. Si chiudono in casa e sui social media postano fotomontaggi della famiglia alle Bahamas. Inebriati da like e follower, i genitori si dimenticano di prendersi cura del proprio figlio.
