Originating from the internet, the term “TFW NO GF” initially referred to the absence of a romantic partner. Over time, it has come to represent a broader existential condition marked by feelings of isolation, rejection, and alienation. The meme’s central figure, “WOJAK,” has emerged as the emblem for a large online community of self-proclaimed “hyper-anonymous young adults” and “individuals who have fallen through the societal gaps.” The film “TFW NO GF” explores how the spirit of the times has impacted a generation disconnected from the ‘real world.’ It introduces us to the lost young men who grew up online, in spaces like 4chan and Twitter, where they find solidarity in their shared despair.
