Electric Dreams is the story of a teenager lost between virtual worlds that appear and disappear unexpectedly. Adrift between games and artificial paradises, breaking news and banality, she slowly forgets to exist, starts blending into the shadows of her bedroom and becomes a projection herself. An adventure punctuated by Wagnerian themes, brass band flourishes and synthesizers reminiscent of a Game Boy.
