All around us, there lives a group of “invisibles,” people who are only perceivable via a camera. We meet two of them: Tuomas is a single parent to his daughter who is the only person in the world seeing him normally. Ninni is a young woman in an emerging online relationship, meeting her crush for the first time “in real life.”
In combination with these parallel stories, the film uses street footage and testimonies from other “invisibles” to reflect on questions of loneliness, visibility and perception. Our world is exposed as one where the prosaic and the poetic, the factual and the imaginary, live together.

Teenage brothers Alex and Robin are intertwined, symbiotic, as if magnetically bound to one another. That is, until Alex falls in love with Ines. His newfound infatuation shatters their protective symbiosis, sending Robin into freefall. When Robin gets convicted for a felony, Alex blames himself for naively letting his first love distract him from his responsibility for his brother, and pours all his efforts into saving Robin. But can you save someone who doesn’t want to be saved? And is it, deep down, what Alex truly wants?

In 2064, the world is on the verge of destruction. The UN has developed a form of time travel: a person’s memories and personality can be transmitted to the past, to who they were at the moment of conception. Henrik, brilliant but narcissistic physicist is chosen for a mission so he can publish his blueprint of a fusion reactor that can prevent climate change from ever happening. But something goes wrong, and Henrik is born in the wrong body and has to learn humility while living his new life as a boy he used to torment as a child.
