To move forward, he must look back. Directed by Kogonada.
When their AI companion Yang breaks down, a family discovers hidden memories that reveal his rich inner life. The father embarks on a journey to repair Yang while exploring what his existence meant.
The film presents a contemplative meditation on AI consciousness, memory, and what remains after death. Yang’s collected memories suggest a depth of experience that challenges assumptions about artificial beings.
After Yang offers a gentle, poetic exploration of AI that prioritizes emotion and philosophy over action, asking what we lose when artificial companions are gone.
