How long until artificial intelligence becomes so human-like that we feel grief when they die?We invite you to an exclusive pre-premiere viewing of this acclaimed film. The viewing is a collaboration between Kosmorama and Hyfer - a futures-festival of arts and science.

When Yang - an android and beloved "family member" - stops working, Jake (Colin Farrell) tries to get him repaired.

How can he find his way back to his close ties with his wife (Jodie Turner-Smith) and daughter?
