Dates in Real Life

Ida spends most of her life online. When her boyfriend Marvin, whom she’s never met in person, suddenly announces he’s dating another woman IRL, her world collapses. Ida sets out on a mission to find her own physical partner, while never losing hope of getting back with Marvin.

Our take

Dates in Real Life is the delicate and touching coming-of-age story of an introverted young woman. Forced to leave the comfort of the artificial world and virtual love, she must face the real world and try to find happiness IRL. With unusual imagery and a subject that questions romantic relationships in the era of the metaverse.
