Synopsis
It is a story in which everyone lies to everyone else. Zeleni and Jana work for a Croatian sexchat company and lure men on the Internet under the false identity of Sweet Simona. Somewhere in Austria lives mysterious Bobo, who texts to Simona obsessively and gets caught in her net; he wants a real relationship. Simona gives him hope, but always avoids a date. When Bobo starts planning his life with Simona, the sexchat line operators realize that their correspondence has gone too far because it is ruining the stranger’s life. But it turns out Bobo hasn’t been on the same level with them either…
