Craig gets contacted by Elly
One day computer geek Craig (Hubbel Palmer) sees a girl Elly (Madeline Carroll) on his computer screen who says the his world is a simulation. Elly is testing if people can surpass their programming (by doing something to help other people). Elly can modify reality almost as much she likes, so she is kind of God (or a kid playing some highly sophisticated version of Sims).
Elly can manipulate (virtual) reality
Movie has also many other side stories. This indie film mixes romantic movie with social drama and philosophical science-fiction. Café is a likable movie with nice cast.

Rating: Good
