Hiroshi Ishiguro

The film portrays people who have a close relationship with a robot, and it takes us from the high temple of robot technology, Tokyo, Japan, to Braunschweig, Germany, to Italy and back to Copenhagen, Denmark. By this world tour director Phie Ambo seeks to highlight the human need for love and our craving to be loved by others - perhaps the two most important aspects of life.

When a robot kills a human, who takes the blame? An eerie, eye-opening work of science nonfiction, this documentary charts incidents in which robots caused the deaths of humans--in an automated Volkswagen factory, in a self-driving Tesla vehicle and by a bomb-carrying droid--considering the issues that these cases raise in terms of accountability and morality.

We draw upon Philip K. Dick’s work as well as various cinematographic adaptations of his novels in order to illustrate the extent to which K. Dick’s oeuvre foretold the world that has become our own today. We will take the viewer on a fascinating journey to discover this extraordinary writer.
