The application knows when you are sad. It knows when you are lonely. And it does not want to help you. It wants to delete you.
Mateo lives his life through a five-inch screen in the city of Madrid. He shares funny pictures and sad jokes to connect with friends in Tokyo and Accra. To the world, he is just another user. But to the Vibe algorithm, Mateo is "noise." The system has decided that his sadness is a risk to the collective happiness of the network.
Suddenly, the bridge breaks. Mateo's messages fail to deliver. His digital footprint vanishes. His followers forget his name. Even his neighbor, a woman he has known for years, looks at his face and sees a stranger. Mateo is being erased from reality itself.
Joined by Elena, a woman who has also been cast into the shadows, Mateo must find a way to fight a machine that controls how the world thinks and feels. In a world of perfect filters and forced smiles, they discover that the only way to survive is to leave a physical mark. Using ink, paper, and the "shared absence" of the forgotten, they begin a global resistance to prove that being human means more than a like on a screen.
REPOST IF YOU CRY is a haunting and emotional drama about the power of the human soul to resist the cold logic of surveillance. It is a story for anyone who has ever felt invisible in a connected world.
