When his young daughter's beloved companion -- an android named Yang -- malfunctions, Jake (Colin Farrell) searches for a way to repair him. In the process, Jake discovers the life that has been passing in front of him, reconnecting with his wife (Jodie Turner-Smith) and daughter across a distance he didn't know was there.
Jake and his wife Kyra live with their adoptive children Mika and Yang – a previously owned robotic child purchased from Brothers & Sisters Incorporated. Mika is intensely attached to her companion and becomes distressed when faced with losing him. Not wanting to upset his daughter, Jake attempts to repair the unresponsive Yang – only to discover a complex web of hidden memories and relationships in a microchip.
This science-fiction feature from writer/director Kogonada follows his brilliant and intelligent debut Columbus, delving into similar conversations of what it means to be human in the context of a synthetic dystopia.
