As her boyfriend Thomas is about to get his big break as a contemporary artist, Signe plunges into a crisis. To be acknowledged and recognized, she takes drastic measures. In this preposterous satire, Kristoffer Borgli unleashes the whole potential of the social media’s attention economy, cross-breeding it with a potent critique of a society increasingly interested in the surface. An excellent Kristine Kujath Thorp shines in the challenging lead of this exceedingly painful cringe fest, which premiered in Cannes this year.

Kristoffer Borgli
is a Norwegian, Los Angeles-based writer and director known for Drib, his docufiction hybrid about a daring energy drink marketing campaign gone wrong, and shorts like A Place We Call Reality and Former Cult Member Hears Music for the First Time. His unromantic comedy Sick of Myself had its world premiere in the Un Certain Regard section at Cannes 2022.
