Movie content:
"It's easy to be like me, said the girl. Come and follow me." Leonie's rise as a teenage influencer is fairytale-like. More and more fans follow her on social media and do everything they can to meet their idol live. It is clear to Leonie and her parents that she is not just posting for fun, but that she wants to earn a lot of money. The price is real life and they are prepared to pay it. Melanie, the fangirl, is absorbed in Leonie's social media world. She sees being offline as a disaster. But unlike Leonie, Melanie also decides to make real contacts beyond the world of followers. A fascinating insight into the teenage years under the premise of social media. Nightmare or modern fairy tale? Ysabel Fantou
