AUTHENTICATION FAILED

Ìý

In an increasingly digital world, a girl begins to find that her identity has become fragmented into her different online personas. Having lost her sense of self, she is transported into her digital life to reunite with each of her different alter egos; the writer/blogger who documents her life, the gamer who lives in a false reality, and the artist who is falling apart since she only exists to create. Realizing that she can only be happy when she’s authentic online instead of creating a new persona for every aspect of herself and isolating them, the girl returns to reality as a combination of all of the previous personas, and passes the authentication test.
