Romanian director Andrei Hutleac's consideration of viral videos and everyone's 15 minutes of fame is so barbed and dark in places the comedy feels fully weaponised as he takes an unfortunate moment and spins it sharply into the arena of modern social networking. Knowing that the film was inspired by a real-life event that saw a woman go viral in Korea back in 2005 only adds to its underpinning of melancholy.
Where many cyberbullying films have tended to focus on teenagers and/or sex-shaming, including Story Of A Girl and Share, Hutleac's film emphasises how a largely insignificant, if unlucky incident, can happen to anybody, whatever their age, spiralling out of control when it hits the Twittersphere and the daily news cycle.
Alina (Andreea Gramosteanu) is a pretty standard type of person. In fact, if anything, she's slightly more caring than the average, given we will learn she was recently her bank's employee of.
