»I am your human« by Maria Schrader (competition)
“93 percent of German women dream of it,” says Tom (Dan Stevens) to Alma as he presents her with a bubble bath surrounded by candles, around which he has sprinkled rose petals. “Guess what percentage I belong to!” Replies Alma (Maren Eggert). The Android Tom should actually be adjusted to the needs of the archaeologist, but the three-week trial phase in which the robot moves in with her is just there for that glitches iron out. According to a story by Emma Braslavsky, Maria Schrader traces in »Ich bin dein Mensch« whether love and algorithms really go together or whether we can add up something that we secretly dread. With effortless precision, Schrader navigates his way through a field of motifs that is already delineated by both romantic comedies and science fiction films, and finds a way from man and machine as heartbreaking odd couple to tell. hpi
