Overview

Write a short summary of what happens in the film.

The first lockdown brought to a stop the whole entertainment industry. Many celebrities started to complain about the lack of access to their favourite luxuries. For Down syndrome actors, playing is therapy. So we asked them not only to read aloud real comments on the lockdown but also to act as if they were influencers writing them. When the video is about to finish, the harsh truth is revealed - the lockdown for Down syndrome people will never end. They will never be able to have their own family or go to Dubai on their own. All they ask for is a new stage where they could follow their dreams and find fulfilment after the lockdown.

Cultural / Context information for the jury

The comments our actors read aloud may sound generic, but to the Polish audience they strongly resonate. For legal reasons, we decided not to name celebrities who wrote each comment. They could have easily been found. Some of them deleted their comments and never complained about the lockdown again.
