France2018documentary21'Konkurs krótkometrażowy (2019)

A suspenseful, gloomy documentary about the virtual world of players to which the brutal reality unexpectedly demands access. A young man calls the police station to inform them that he has just killed his family and wants to set the house on fire. The frightening call must have been one of the pranks made by bored Internet users who decided to invigorate a little the live transmission of one of the players. SWAT, a special police unit, is sent to the place and enters the homes of unaware game players while the entire incident is recorded and commented online.
