Watch the trailerhere.

Leonce is the king's son from the kingdom of Popo and one thing above all: bored. His privileged life makes him melancholy and when his father wants to marry him off, he takes refuge in another world: the internet. There he meets Lena, with whom he can not only float through the vastness of the metaverse free from constraints and external influences, but who also understands him perfectly. Lena is also fed up with superficial affairs and empty encounters, and she too is to be married off as the king's daughter and resists this plan.

How can Leonce and Lena be together when parents and a wedding await them in real life? With the help of ingenious software designed by Valerio, Lena's servant, they try to escape their fate. But can the digital and analog self really be so clearly separated?

In their rewriting of Georg Büchner's comedy, Natalie Baudy and David Moser transfer Leonce and Lena's romance into the digital world. They portray it not only as a place of retreat from the life of a young generation burdened with expectations and tasks, but also as an alternative idea space for analog reality.
