Alcopops, VHS tapes, cigarettes, boys, MSN Messenger, Placebo - this
is 2003. Set on the Isle of Wight, fragments of the director's own
teenage video diaries collide with the fictional story of 15-year-old
Tommy in this short film about a boy's search for connection in the
advent of the internet age.
Infatuated with his best friend's boyfriend and unable to truly reveal
himself to anyone, Tommy feels an overwhelming sense of isolation on
the small chalk island he calls home. Desperate to be seen, he logs on
to family computer, clicks connect and opens MSN.
