Under a cloak made of fabric laced with copper wires, William is encountered in a remote cabin in Sweden. For ten years he has been fighting an illness that eludes scientific evidence: hyperelectrosensitivity. People who experience symptoms caused by electronic radiation that make it impossible for them to continue living in digitalized everyday life. The visually stunning film describes the experiences of a young man and his emotional world in dealing with the illness, the support of a worried family, but also the inadequacies of a health system in dealing with an invisible illness, the symptoms of which are nevertheless a stark reality for those affected.
