Synopsis

I ❤️ ROBOT follows a woman who welcomes X9, a humanoid assistant, into her home. What begins as a simple relationship of convenience gradually shifts into something far more intimate, blurring the boundaries between use, habit, attachment and love. Without dialogue, the film observes the small gestures through which a machine can become part of a human life, and asks a deliberately unresolved question: do we need the other to truly love us in order to love them? Rather than imagining a machine that rebels, manipulates or tries to become human, I ❤️ ROBOT turns the lens in the opposite direction. X9 simply does what he was designed to do. It is the human relationship with him that changes. A story about technology, certainly. But above all, a story about us, and about what may happen when the boundary between an object we use and a being we care about becomes increasingly difficult to see.
