Slovenia was on the news for a vicious crime after two friends beat a colleague and broadcast the event on Facebook Live to 20,000 people. This was a prank for the majority, and nobody called the police.
The heart-wrenching thriller analyses the moral dilemma, examines the conscience, and imagines the scary aftermath of such a horrific incident. Janez Burger pushes paranoia to the extreme with unsettling phone calls, threatening messages, and invisible menace.
