What is their why?
“With this film, I wanted to portray the difficulty it can be for two people to have a relationship, despite (or because) the love they might have for each other. It’s a personal feeling but also something that I believe being quite universal.”

Wow
Nigel has to realize that he is now in need of someone to help him do the necessary things needed in his every day care.
I think all those who lived alone through quarantine could use a robot like Max. I viewed the robot’s role more as vital companionship than caregiving.
Max broke Nigel’s resentment and fear. I wonder if Nigel will now be able to reconnect to his daughter!
