The film follows Smaragda, a middle-aged woman on a journey of self-discovery. After countless failed relationships and a stagnant career, she decided to jump into social media for some notion of visibility, which she definitely sucks at.

Film ini mengikuti Smaragda, wanita paruh baya yang sedang dalam perjalanan pencarian jati diri. Setelah beberapa hubungan yang gagal dan karir yang tak kunjung bergerak, ia memutuskan untuk terjun ke media sosial untuk mendapatkan perhatian, namun jelas ia tak mahir akan itu.
