Clout
At an elite boarding school in England, Oskar and his friends are struggling to make a name for themselves in the popular circles. Oskar, in particular, spends his days making manufactured videos for his social media, craving and chasing online attention from his peers. Known for telling tall tales, if not outright lying, the faculty, the other pupils and even his closest friends have begun to distrust whatever Oskar tells them. However, when Oskar believes he has discovered something morbid in the nearby lake, he swears that, this time, he is telling the truth, getting the attention of the older, popular students. Will this be Oskar’s time to shine or has his clout-chasing gone too far? A cautionary tale about identity, influence, and the emotional cost of a life lived online.
