In a world where young people aren’t that interested in sex, a 24 year old New Zealander shares his honest experiences dating a fictional character from his favourite anime show. With a 2-dimensional partner that is perfect in every way and holds every quality he could want (apart from being able to touch and talk and all of that), he finds himself wondering if 3D-love is still worth the risk, or if reality might have become a bit, well, irrelevant.

A timely parable about human’s growing intimacy with technology, this short documentary provides a rare window into a burgeoning world of a young man grappling with love in all its dimensions.
