“Brilliant, the hippest cyber-fi movie ever.”—B. Ruby Rich, Sundance Film Festival

Anxious to use artificially intelligent robots to improve the world, bio-geneticist Rosetta Stone (Tilda Swinton) devises a recipe through which she can download her own DNA into a "live" brew she is growing in her computer. She succeeds in breeding three Self-Replicating Automatons that look human, but were bred as intelligent machines. Each of the characters struggle to find meaning in a world where love is the only thing that makes things real.

A selection of the Sundance Film Festival, the Toronto International Film Festival, and the Berlin International Film Festival. 2002, U.S., DCP, 85 minutes.  Recommended for 16+.
