Synopsis by Steven Yoder
After Yang, directed by Kogonada, tells the tale of a future where robotic children are purchased as live-in babysitters. Jake (Colin Farrell) and Kyra (Jodie Turner-Smith) are the parents of Mika (Malea Emma Tjandrawidjaja). When Mika's beloved android companion Yang (Justin H. Min) malfunctions, Jake desperately searches for a way to repair him. Along the way, he discovers that his relationships with his wife and child have become distant. The journey takes him on a pathway of rediscovery, allowing him to close that distance and recapture the life that was passing before him.
