After the climate wars it seems that only one woman and one robot only remain. She goes through her daily routine and is protected by the robot, a gift from her soldier fiance. He protrols the boundry of her camp and lets no one, even her in unless they have the correct pass word. One day she forgets the password for day and finds the robot, despite knowing who she is bac into the camp. This is a problem since all of her means of survival is inside the place she can no longer enter.
You will forgive me for not saying too much, but I don't want to tell you what happens. What I want to discuss about the film requires my taling about the ending, and I don't want to do that. If you are going to get the full effect of the film you need not to know what happens.
I will say that this is a very deliberate tale. The pacing is leisurely. A third of the film sets the world up and then the film goes. And it is not going where you think it's going. It's a film that is more like the literary idea of science fiction then cinema. It's a film that, while a battle for survival, is also an exploration of the battle between humanity and human created beings. It is not a bang bang shoot 'em up. If you are okay with that you are going to love this film.
Worth a look.
