With her laptop stolen, Pati's world crumbles when she receives a disturbing message from a friend: an anonymous hacker is sending intimate photos of her to her contacts. The threat is clear: she must pay to stop the mass distribution. Caught in a psychological battle, Pati seeks refuge behind her screen, only to discover that thousands of others around the world are being extorted in the same way. Faced with the indifference of the authorities, Pati realizes that only she can find a way out of this nightmare. Told with humour and candour, through text messages, emails, and self-recorded cellphone videos, filmmaker Pati Franquesa reclaims the fragments of her body and refuses to be shamed.
