"APPLICATIONS" tells the story of Xavier, his new phone, and the dating application that is consuming his life.

Grindr, Scruff, and other such apps are ubiquitous these days. But are they a real solution to finding romance or a time trap laden with shallow connections? Xavier has similar questions.
