After a night of partying in the dorms, Anna, a student at the University of Amsterdam, wakes up groggy and hung over only to find that a new app has been inexplicably added to it. Initially helpful and clever, Iris soon begins behaving mysteriously, answering personal questions it shouldn’t know the answers to, and sending inappropriate images to her contacts. When it becomes clear she can’t simply delete the unwanted evil app, Anna’s efforts to confront it sets in motion events that will put her life, and that of her roommate and her fragile brother, in fatal danger. Dutch with English subtitles.
