Plot Summary (no major spoilers): The film follows a tense, quiet morning in a modest, sun-drenched home. A father and his teenage daughter are preparing for the day when a knock at the door changes everything. Two neighbors have arrived, not with a friendly greeting, but with an accusation. They claim the daughter has been spreading a vicious, anonymous rumor online about another local teen—a rumor that has led to devastating real-world consequences (bullying, potential self-harm). The father, initially defensive and proud, is forced to confront the gap between how he sees his daughter and the digital footprint she has left behind.
