The story is about Benjamin Lewis, a 25 year old man who is living on his own in a very human-deserted area. But he is actually quite happy, because all he really needs are his friends on the social platform "Tracebook" who listen to him and send him love from around the world. Today, just having reached his 1000th friend, he wants to meet his virtual girlfriend in reality. But his destiny will change his entire virtual life, so that everything takes a different course than planned on "Tracebook".
EIGHT FLOWERS is a story about modern friendship, love and social isolation.
8, as endless same destinies; 8, as a new beginning.
