« With Goliath, a poignant virtual reality story about psychosis » — Le Monde

Tilda Swinton (voice)

Goliath: playing with reality is an interactive documentary. We follow Jon's story a man diagnosed with schizophrenia, who after spending years isolated in psychiatric institutions finds connection in multiplayer games.

Goliath talks about the places we choose to feel safe in. It is an exploration of what it means to experience someone else’s reality. It goes beyond the theme of mental illness, introducing users to a world where things aren’t as they seem. This story helps us grasp how fragile reality is and how easy it is to lose sight of it.
