Czech Republic | 2017 | 53 min.

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.
