Good Vibes

Five stories that intertwine around a mysterious smartphone that allows you to have a copy of anyone's phone. Just enter the number and you immediately have access to bank accounts, photos, videos, emails, messages, even the most intimate ones, and if you activate the camera in spy mode you can observe the lives of others live. A morbidity that pervades anyone who comes into contact with this phone, in the frantic search for the power to influence the lives of others. Thus begins an escalation of linked events in which, without a moment's respite, we will follow the fate of the phone and of those who come into possession of it. The protagonists of the five episodes must confront their most hidden desires and the (in)ability to manage the power of knowledge.
