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.
