    Synopsis

    "I dedicate my life to showing the world that one can pretend to be whoever they want." Eva, 25 - drifter, Berliner, pet-owner, poet, sex worker, virgo, recovering addict, housewife, feminist, model – declared privacy an outdated concept at the age of 14. This is the tale of a young woman growing up in the age of the internet, turning the search for oneself into a public spectacle, challenging you on what a woman 'should be'. Through her fragmented personalities you see the emergence of a generation, in which the concept of a fxed identity has grown old. A portrait of modern existence.
