La vie de la jeune Donna Stern n'a rien de particulier : un petit ami, un job dans une librairie, sa bande de potes, des parents divorcés... Mais, chaque soir, sur une scène de Brooklyn où elle interprète son numéro de stand-up, ce quotidien banal devient une source inépuisable de sketches.

Conceived as an electronic road movie, this documentary investigates cutting edge technologies and their influence on our culture as we approach the 21st century. It takes off from the idea that mankind's effort to tap the power of Nature has been so successful that a new world is suddenly emerging,an artificial reality. Virtual Reality, digital and biotechnology, plastic surgery and mood-altering drugs promise seemingly unlimited powers to our bodies, and our selves. This film presents the implications of having access to such power as we all scramble to inhabit our latest science fictions.
