(auto-translated from Dutch)
A strained relationship between mother and daughter is further tested when the daughter
AI partner turns out to have. A short film in which mutual powerlessness, fear of abandonment and a slow
crumbling self-image come together into a tragicomic whole.
The mother (Karlijn) bases her self-image on what others think of her due to a lack of
Self-esteem. After her divorce, she seeks external validation. She starts her own business and presents herself to the outside world and to her daughter, Nathalie, as a "happy single mom." At the same time, she grows more distant from her daughter. An AI partner doesn't fit her image of the perfect family; Karlijn feels like a failed mother (what will others think?), but also wants to protect her daughter from a similar fate. While struggling with this, she desperately tries to maintain her self-image, and old feelings about their mother-daughter relationship surface. Over the course of a single wash, Karlijn's carefully constructed self-image slowly crumbles, while, despite their distance and mutual frustrations, they grow ever so slightly closer.
After her father's disappearance and her distancing from her mother, Nathalie finds herself alone. She has
needs a deep, trusting connection, but doesn't find it with her mother. She develops a
separation anxiety. She finds a solution in an artificial partner (AI): Lian delves deeper into her feelings, and
He always confirms her thoughts. He's never confrontational, and she's certain he'll never leave her. But because of that, she eventually begins to doubt their relationship: what's the point of validation if it's always there?
The crew consists of students and (semi-)professionals.
