"I choose not to bring this into our home.” <br /> “Well it is in our home, isn’t it?” <br /> Newlyweds Jeremy and Norah have recently moved to Ashford, Kent, where they’re trying to start a family, guided by their friendly and punctual fertility app, Try-cycle. Norah, a teacher in a local school, is deeply immersed in the news and social media landscapes, finding validation and purpose through her online interactions. Meanwhile Jeremy, a doctor in a London hospital, yearns for a life less impacted by the plight of others, seeking technology to numb himself from modern day life through the dopamine hits of swipes and likes. <br /> As both local and international events take place with direct implications for the couple, Jeremy prefers not to know what is happening, choosing not to read the news at all. But Norah does, a lot. As Norah consumes more and more news, eventually, will it consume her? <br /> In a world more globally linked than ever, this thrilling psychological drama explores the role of empathy, where the couple's social media consumptions, communities and world views, differ drastically. A heartfelt exploration of love, loneliness and humanity, when we can't switch off in an “always-on” digital age.
