Starring Colin Farrell, Jodie Turner-Smith, Malea Emma Tjandrawidjaja
When his young daughter’s beloved companion—an android named Yang (Justin H. Min)—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 (Malea Emma Tjandrawidjaja) across a distance he didn’t know was there. Kogonada’s follow-up to his acclaimed debut, COLUMBUS, is a quietly thought-provoking science-fiction marvel of rare humanity, told through gorgeous mise-en-scène that blends the warmth of nature with the sleek surfaces of the future.
