Synopsis
A robot messenger is sent to earth to appeal to humans to live in peace. Originally designed to go to MIT, by mistake she ends up in Amman, Jordan during the Black September riots of 1970. Sullivan, a British journalist, comes to her aid when she is found wandering without papers following a bombing and grants her refuge in his hotel room. But there she tells him she is a robot, sent as a peace envoy from another planet. He is not sure whether to believe her story or not, but finds her unusual view of the world appealing. They examine the human condition in a series of incredibly insightful and entertaining conversations.

[AtlàntidaFF, 4K] A restored rarity that is both seductive and irregular. Reflection on man's capacity for self-destruction, with some simplistic dialogues, turns a hotel room cornered by the civil war in Jordan into a metaphor for the future of humanity. A colorful cinematography is recovered in a closed space in which the relationship between the robot and the human is fed by the good performings of Tilda Swinton and Bill Paterson.

**Great dialogue and wonderfully performed by both leads. Worth a viewing.** This could’ve been more successful had the conversation stayed existential instead of veering into social commentary. >_Friendship: “I dream of impossible objects.”_
