NEXT

With the idea for a new project Adam surfs in the apparent anonymity of the internet. His goal: to break through this anonymity, by meeting a person from one of the countless videochatrooms, in which you can “next” a partner by a mouse-click, in real life. After he actually convinces a nameless stranger to meet him, Adam – armed with a camcorder – begins his journey from Warsaw to the meeting in Berlin, not knowing yet how much further his little project will bring him.
