Thomas Thomas is agoraphobic, has a computer-generated girlfriend, and hasn't left his home in years. Can a prostitute convince him to leave cyberspace and his home for the real world?
It duplicates Thomas' miserable world so well we want to escape it as urgently as Thomas does.

fresh:
The last few minutes of this movie are strangely moving. What leads up to them is shot through with dark humor and scathing satire.

fresh:
A film in which the camera's point of view never changes can start to feel claustrophobic. But the originality of the concept and the quality of the performances help to compensate.
