Roberta's son

Some people only become visible once they have disappeared. Deleted files. Their shadows become more real than ever were themselves. A computer triller.


 


 


 


12 year old Tim has disappeared. The only clues are some computer disks with an almost indecipherable content. There is an increasing amount of indications that the boy was working on a dematerialisation programm, with the aim of transfering himself to another dimension.


 


The detective and his friend Berthold find themselves more and more under the spell of world in which reality is being percieved by way of screens and where abstractions overrule life. The line separating truth and illusion, seriousness and play becomes blurry. (Karina Ressler)
