About The Film
When Lucas loses his beloved grandmother, he struggles to share his grief with his family and turns instead to an AI chatbot for comfort. At first, the app seems to help, but as Lucas begins treating the bot like the person he lost, he becomes increasingly isolated from his friends, family, and real life. When he reaches a breaking point and the AI cannot truly respond to his pain, Lucas is finally forced to reconnect with the people who love him and begin grieving with their support.
