A 14-year-old video enthusiast obsessed with violent films decides to make one of his own and show it to his parents, with tragic results.

Based on Philippe Garbit's short story “Je la regarde dormir,” a woman is accused of a cruel crime by a man who claims to be her friend. After many sleepless hours, the boundaries between madness and reality begin to blur, and at her last supper the man becomes the judge of life and death.

Elli is an android and lives with a man she calls her father. Together they drift through the summer. During the day they swim in the pool and at night he takes her to bed. She shares his memories and anything else he programs her to recall. Memories that mean everything to him but nothing to her. Yet, one night she sets off into the woods following a fading echo… The story of a machine and the ghosts we all carry within us.
