The window into the world used to be television. Now there's YouTube. A portal that features the heroes of today – youtubers. From ordinary people we have artists and showmen unafraid of becoming public figures. Media stars that have created a work of art just by showing others how they live. The filmmaker spent a year among the best youtubers, as well as with newcomers, and tried to understand what drives them – what makes them publicly expose themselves to the public, what their motivation is, and whether they actually have anything to say.
Most children today can use a computer or a cell phone before learning how to tie their laces or ride a bicycle. Worldwide, a new generation of children is spending more time in the virtual world, giving them unrivaled entertainment and more excitement than on the playground. What have they got to lose? Do we know that our kids are at risk of computer addiction? And do we know how much danger they face on line? The film provides 3 stories: the tale of glory of a youtuber, a fanatic gamer, and a girl who is the victim of a sexual predator on a social network.

As the school year begins, a new student arrives – the handsome and mysterious Nicholas. Smitten, Phil watches him as he runs around the track after school, and is thrilled when Nicholas returns his feelings. But he’s going to first have to deal with the problems of his past in order to deal with the issues of his present.
