Premise

Composed of a series of short vignettes that share a telecommunications application as a common thread, Distancing Socially focuses on loosely connected human interactions taking place virtually across a world in lockdown.^[3] The film is said to explore love, friendship, and the idea that a world of increased connectivity ironically leads to greater miscommunication.^[4]
