"Come in Samsara" suggests a handsome-new age buddha on a acidulous orange beach, ad projected in full screen on the walls of our connected minds. 2067. Mankind has enter the bionic era. Men and women have, integrated in their own cortex a cybernetic device which make them true computer terminals, linked permanently, making a huge human web. In the middle of this web-system, one among others, is Eva, 25 years old, employee of a communication company. She spends the most part of her days connected, during working time as well as her « leisures »; she zappe all along time from the reality which surround her to her internal connection, swallowing images and sounds, datas directly poured into her cybernetised mind. She stands a normalized life for someone of her generation, an arranged life. Virtual balance ready to explode. At first trouble… Some day, as she walks on the street, lost in the data-processing meanders, a man throws himself on her, insult her, physically threatens her. He is delirious, wants her to free her mind before it’s too late. The security forces intervene, embark the unbalanced man in a wink, leaving Eva, frightened. Too late… Under the shock, Eva doesn’t manage too take back the usual courrse of her life. Her connexions are full of appearances of the marginal, like awaked nightmares. For the first time, she stands alone facing material reality, but this one stays dumb, no way out. An exit, a hacker met one night will propose her one… Eva’s disese will only disappear when she would have dived into full virtual, with possible return. When she would have joined, finally serene, the buddha on the beach.
