This film addresses the emotional absence of parents in a digitalized world. Inspired by Edward Tronick's scientific "still face" experiment, it shows how children are suddenly left alone in shared moments—not physically, but emotionally. Adults disappear behind glass panes, symbolic of smartphone screens, into their own reality, while children desperately seek attention.
