Synopsis

In the near future, Clarissa, a novelist with writer’s block, joins a prestigious, state-of-the-art artist residency where she’s assigned an AI assistant named Dalloway. The latter quickly becomes more than a simple assistant and turns into a true confidante for Clarissa. Unsettled by Dalloway’s increasing intrusion, Clarissa is warned by whistleblower Mathias, who informs her of the true motives behind the residency and its tech company funder. Clarissa begins to suspect that this seemingly perfect situation is in fact a meticulously crafted trap.
