World Premiere
IDFA DocLab Competition for Immersive Non-Fiction
Synopsis

In this VR experience you embark on an adventure with an unknown fellow user, meeting each other virtually in a strange landscape. You can see each other’s avatar and use the controllers to modify your companion’s appearance—changing everything from their clothing to the length of their limbs and the color of their eyes.

Together you follow the cues through a constantly shifting, dreamlike environment where part of the challenge is to keep finding each other. At times, teamwork is required, like when you need to paddle in sync to move a raft. Along the way you’ll discover new aspects of each other, in ways that differ greatly from real-life interactions or those on social media and dating apps. You may even connect on a deeper level. The journey fosters a unique bond, and by the end you’ll decide where to take it next.
