A short film follows people who describe themselves as unable to stop checking Facebook, and the Careface Treatment Center in Norway that has set up a program to treat them. Interviews with self-identified addicts lay out how the habit crept into their daily routines, from constant status checks to anxiety when logged off, while staff at the center walk through their approach to breaking the compulsion. The film treats compulsive social media use as an emerging behavioral problem rather than a joke, framing it alongside other recognized addictions and asking whether a habit built into a platform used by hundreds of millions of people can really be treated like a private illness. It stays close to its small set of subjects and the clinic itself rather than widening into broader commentary, which keeps the focus on what treatment for this specific condition actually looks like in practice.
