I’ll Come To You

Coming of age

An enigmatic story for those who love video games, in which it’s possible, by following one track after another, to cross the border between the real world and the virtual one.

Giada and Nico. A love that blossomed in the last months of school. When the holidays arrive, he disappears into thin air. What’s happened to him? Why isn’t he answering the phone? Nobody really knows him nor where he lives. The only thing certain is that his avatar was seen in a famous Battle Royale Game. Giada hates video games, but she explores it all in order to find him. She is determined: “If you don’t come, I’ll come to you.”
