Head over heels in love? That’s nothing new for Ella. She researches the subject of all-consuming crushes online and boldly confronts the object of desire. But will her feelings be reciprocated? According to the internet, the answer is always no! But is that really the case? Through a kaleidoscope of images, sounds and associative spaces, the film asks whether vulnerability opens more doors than any gesture of victory and success.
