Whatsapp

On the outskirts of a psychiatric clinic located on a viewpoint there are two nurses next to the patients they are looking after. Patients suffer from a withdrawal syndrome to the whatsapp mobile application, due to which they have lost their ability to communicate and so believe they are immersed in a perpetual whatsapp group. The nurses take advantage of this circumstance to abandon the patients, Hugo and Eva, in a bench while they go smoking somewhere else.
When the nurses are gone, a leaf of a nearby tree falls on Hugo, returning contact with reality. Progressively, Hugo begins to draw emoticons on the land helped by a branch, with which he manages to communicate with Eva and both become gradually aware of their situation.
When it seems that Hugo and Eva agree to flee together and are about to hold hands, the nurses return. These, alerted to discover the situation, break the link between both patients, ‘making them leave’ the imaginary group of whatsapp in which they are, and take them back to the clinic.
