In a not-so-distant future where Muji has taken over the world, a multiethnic family has to deal with the loss of their android babysitter. The film invites us to reflect on family, technology, and existence through fragments of daily life and bittersweet memories. Although the philosophical questions posed might be nothing new, it’s the approach that makes them relevant, as it’s rare to find sci-fi narrative themes combined with the warm and intimate setting of a family drama, within the walls of a house that seem to be lost between past, present, and future.

Although I confess that I teared up a little during the second half, the film is not built around an emotional climax, and might discourage some audiences due to its low-key meditative tone and tendency to rely on artsy cinematography over raw emotions.
