23rd TDF: Greek Premiere

The film begins with a mother’s question: will her children love the perfect machines in their lives more than they’ll love her, their imperfect mother? From this seemingly simple prompt, the filmmaker spins an epic examination of the world in which it is taken for granted that technological progress will always inspire social progress. Constructed from a series of stunning images and featuring a score by the Kronos Quartet, the film is an immersive journey into the heart of our changing relationship to the natural world.
