Holly 2.0

  • Topics: friendship, the desire for popularity, and the very first crush
  • Addresses mobile phone addiction and the dangers of AI 
  • School environment - and a science-fiction twist

Holly would love to be able to do something really great, just like her big sister, but she is just totally normal and average. How are her friends supposed to really like her - and more importantly, how is the cute Karim in Holly‘s class ever going to notice her? When Holly finds out about the new app that allows you to create a hologram of yourself, she is immediately curious. Maybe the hologram can be her doppelganger, and do something really impressive in her stead? But suddenly, the hologram becomes more alive than Holly imagined and embarrasses her wherever it appears - not just in front of Holly‘s friends, but in front of the whole school. While Holly desperately tries to get rid of the ghost she has summoned and convince her friends that she is not as embarrassing as everyone now thinks, Karim proves to be a real friend: he is the only one who realises that something is wrong with Holly. And together they uncover the secret of the app. 
Topics: friendship, first crush, technology.
