Write a short summary of what happens in the film

“More Than Likes” A science fiction film in which a schoolgirl was addicted to social media winds up in “the same classroom in another world”, where one’s popularity on social media determines their hierarchy in class. In this classroom, the students’ hierarchy is set based on the number of followers on their social media accounts. For example, the nerd of the class is now the popular guy, and the queen bee is now the bullied girl. In a world where only popularity on social media defines the “value” of people, our protagonist begins to realize the true values of people that cannot simply be measured by the number of likes and followers.
