NEVRLAND is a feature film by writer-director Gregor Schmidinger and tells the story of 17-year-old Jakob who wants nothing more than to feel alive but uncontrollable anxiety attacks force him to escape into fictional and virtual worlds.

A chance encounter in a sex-cam-chat marks the beginning of an online relationship with the seemingly perfect 26-year old Kristjan. It’s not until the death of Jakob’s only true emotional attachment, his grandfather, that he is willing to meet up with Kristjan in real life.

Over the course of one night, they embark on a transpersonal journey to the wounds of their soul where Jakob must face his biggest fear.
