And come back to our app again if you need to get a taxi or buy a fare... cmon, sweet convenience!
Then to wake up in a reality where you forgot why north was showing on top of the screen, you prefer it to turn map orientation with your body movements and ofc whisper more dopamine inducing advices.

"Zone of Interest" - fresh movie about everyday life in proximity of death camps
