This Thursday, February 23, cybernetic suspense and mystery returns to the big screen with disconnected (missing), the new movie from Sony Pictures, starring 19-year-old actress Storm Reed, directed by Nicholas D. Johnson and Will Merrick.
The 1 hour and 51 minute film confronts the audience with the fear teenager June begins to feel when her mother, Grace (Nia Long), never returns to the United States from her vacation trip to Colombia with her new couple.
When June is left waiting at the airport with her welcome sign, she senses something has gone wrong during the trip and begins to investigate, using her social media skills and other digital tools, what happened to her mother and how she can bring her back. Homecoming.
“This film is grand and very exciting. It puts a spin on the classic kidnapping story by playing the detective role of a young woman,” said Sev Ohanian, the film’s producer.
June’s digital survey will soon bring new surprises and bring a new debate to the table: How much do we really know our family and friends?
But is it possible that technology is our ally and not our enemy? The Ecuadorian expert in social networks and travel blogger Johanna Peñaherrera reflected for this newspaper on situations similar to those in the film.

“Today we have all information just a click away, and sometimes that fact is ‘demonized’. But the tape wants to show exactly how we can use this technology for good, to our advantage and, in this case, to find a person,” he said via Zoom. “What’s also cool is that different scenes on the tape are filmed from the cameras of various electronic devices, from a computer or from other applications; And that perspective makes you feel more connected to the plot.”
From her experience as a travel blogger, Peñaherrera recommends always sharing your location with others in real time. “When we take a taxi at night with my friends, we send our location so they can always see that we have arrived or where we are. And as a traveler (she has traveled alone outside of Ecuador several times), I always share my location with my friends or my mom so they can see where I am.” Although he also warns that having that option activated all the time can carry risks.
“I think when they see the movie, they’re going to have fun. They’re going to be put on hold, they’re going to disconnect from their everyday lives to connect with the movie because the plot is very interesting and above all very close to our everyday reality in terms of how technology can also help us to make certain resolve situations.
