Adam is a teenage artist coming of age in the aftermath of an alien takeover. The Vuvv, a species of hyper-intelligent extraterrestrials, brought wondrous technology to earth, but only the wealthiest can afford it. The rest of humanity, their livelihoods now obsolete, have to scrape together money in the tourism industry. In the case of Adam and his budding love interest Chloe, that means livestreaming their courtship for the amusement of the coffee-table sized Vuvv, who find human love exotic and interesting. When Adam and Chloe's scheme goes sideways, Adam and his mother have to find their way out of an increasingly nightmarish alien bureaucracy.Writer-director Cory Finley (Thoroughbreds, 2017 Sundance Film Festival) returns to Park City with this brazenly original sci-fi trip that features a breakout performance by Asante Blackk. Based on the novel by National Book Award winner M.T. Anderson, the film carefully threads its comedic fantasies with a morose sensibility that sends audiences on a probing exploration of class and commerce.源自：

在我的家族中，几乎有一半的亲人住在国外，所以长年以来几乎每个週末，我们都会以视讯的方式来维系情感，以及在繁忙的日常中，我也时常以网路跟身边亲密的人联系，虽然网路空间让我们消除了时间、距离与空间的问题，我们也逐渐地依赖于虚拟世界当中，但这一切却同时造成了残缺不完整的情感与记忆，所以我会时常想像在网路空间另一端的人是在什麽样的空间与姿态下在和我对话，而就算以视讯的方式观看对方的样貌与空间，却还是不完整的情感与连结。
