description

Sims: “They are nothing but images. There are no consequences.”
Morris: “Yet it is images that create realities.”

 

The internet has evolved into “The Nether,” a universe of digital realms that more and more people choose to inhabit. Within it lies “The Hideaway,” an idyllic virtual reality. Detective Morris, an inspector of the digital world, interrogates Sims, a seemingly polite gentleman who operates within The Hideaway, supplying men with underage children for sexual exploitation.

What People Said

“In the garden of Phytorio, beneath dense foliage, Evita Ioannou ingeniously created a dystopian convention-terrifyingly disturbing yet entirely plausible. The remarkable performances of Kallinikou, Pieridou, and Asikka-and above all, the chilling voice of Marios Ioannou as Mr. Doyle-etched into our skin the existential, ethical, and philosophical anguish provoked by the madness of the digital age.”
