Lulu IRL
Synopsis
Lulu is being bullied at her school. The only place she feels secure is on the Internet, where she is also dating Sebastian. Sebastian wants to meet in real life, but Lulu is afraid. Especially when her secret relationship is revealed to the girls bullying her. Lulu suddenly finds it necessary to prove herself – by losing her virginity. But is that the right thing to do? This film is a quirky virtual coming-of-age story that challenges our ideas of when a relationship is “real” and what it means to be sexy.
