Tagline
Dace thought “unplugging” would be a walk in the park, but when his phone comes to life and chases him down, he learns that he just might be a little bit… addicted to it.
Overview
Dace attempts the impossible: a peaceful walk without his phone. But his device, Phoney Bunny, springs to life and chases him like a clingy ex. As he recruits fellow screen junkies, one question remains: can you live without your phone?
