Synopsis

Victor, a young actor doubting his profession, accepts a new but disconcerting part: exploring, as an avatar, an online video game - a disturbing simulation of the real world where inflation keeps going up and where service jobs prevail. Here, everybody is following the rules. Everybody... except Victor.

Note from the artistic direction

LA VRAIE VIE is an oddity where video games and documentary series merge seamlessly. Its entirely new approach sparks laughter, astonishment, and introspection, leading to a rather dizzying realization for our societies: the preference for a life in a virtual community over the solitude of the real world.
