Idyll is a sci-fi thriller that explores how unchecked social media dependence and the desire for escape warp perceptions and endanger mental well-being. Imagine a world strikingly similar to the present. Dissatisfaction and the relentless pursuit of unattainable lifestyles fuel an obsession with IDYLL, a VR platform promising glimpses into celebrity lives. The protagonist, a relatable young woman, is drawn in by this seductive escape. But the seemingly harmless distraction turns sinister with an IDYLL Premium upgrade. Reality and the simulated world blur, shattering her mental health. Inspired (and horrified) by “The Social Dilemma,” this film reveals how social media exploits human psychology, leading to anxiety, depression, and a growing disconnect from reality.
