An influencer wants to immortalize the birth of his son — but only for Instagram.

Finally—a film that skewers the exact vapid narcissism everyone's too polite to name directly, and does it in three minutes without a shred of sentimentality about fatherhood or 'the miracle of life.' This is the kind of subversive premise that makes you uncomfortable precisely because it's true.
The satire lands with surgical precision, positioning itself within a lineage of social-media-age critique while maintaining formal restraint in its execution; though the premise feels more zeitgeist-dependent than timeless, the considered framing of the joke itself shows curatorial intelligence.
The film's entire weight rests on the decision to let the influencer's phone screen—or his face reflected in it—carry the emotional (or anti-emotional) core, and that single formal choice makes the whole premise sing rather than preach.
