C0NTACT, 6min., Hungary
Directed by Peter Szalkai
A lonely researcher who lives only for her work tries to reconstruct human emotions in a machine. The outcome of the experiment brings change not only to the subject of the experiment. Can the machine succeed because, in our loneliness, perhaps deep down in our souls, we want it to replace human relationships as a companion?
