Chris lives in North Carolina (USA) with his girlfriend Mimi, a life-size sex doll. He communicates with her using an AI app. A clear-eyed, fascinating look at AI and its social consequences.
Chris, a petrol station attendant in his 30s, lives with his girlfriend Mimi, a life-size love doll, in a small town in North Carolina. He communicates with Mimi via an AI app. He talks about his childhood and the traumas he has experienced. Despite his complicated and painful family history, Chris has developed into a kind, friendly man. The film makes no secret of his fascination with (or even fetishization of) media featuring men with robot women. But above all, Chris is a deeply lonely person; a romantic who dreams of true love.
An honest, candid and fascinating take on machine learning and AI, rising levels of loneliness and the social implications for people turning to technology for a sense of security and to gain control over their circumstances.
