The main characters - three adult actresses - pretend to be twelve-year-old girls and register on the most popular social networks for an experiment that opens up the topic of child sexual abuse. This film proves once again that while Facebook and Tik-Tok are for children's entertainment, for some adults they have become a tool for their corruption.
