My generation was supposed to change the world.
I guess we did.
We are the one with less friends.
[We see passengers scrolling through Instagram stories]
27% of millennials reported having no close friends.
22% reported having no friends at all. Or so is what people share in their stories.
During the final edition of this short film, On January 19 of 2023,
WhatsApp decided to launch a feature to talk to yourself. Is just a notepad to send quick notes.
For now.
This film is imagining what could happen if you actually can chat
with yourself and getting replies, bonding and sharing emotions.
Just by feeding up your conversations into a system.
Unbeknownst to the users they are just talking with themselves,
in a friendship with a programmed expiration date.
Are you a stranger to yourself?
