2DCS/ESU
Director:Isa Willinger
Premiere:8. March 2020
Length:88 minutes
Genre:Documentary

Director: Isa Willinger

Young Texan Chuck and Japanese senior Sakurai have one thing in common: they suffer from loneliness. Chuck hasn't started a family yet, Sakurai doesn't have much time for children or grandchildren. An unexpected addition is now entering their lives – a robot equipped with artificial intelligence to keep them company. A perfect woman and an eternal child will try to fill the emptiness. The resulting interactions take place on the boundary between comedy and oppression. Is finding closeness in a clumsy program unethical and desperate, or are the heroes of the documentary just a few years ahead of the rest of us? Will a relationship with perfect artificial intelligence be as valuable as with another human being?
