Love Me

In a world far beyond humanity’s memory, Earth lies silent under a veil of ice and empty seas. Beneath the cold waves, a weather buoy awakens, its sensors flickering to life after millennia of dormancy. High above, a lone satellite continues its endless orbit, a relic of the last launch before the planet’s demise. When the buoy reaches out through the emptiness, the two machines forge an unlikely connection, sparking an exploratory dialogue that becomes a curious quest to understand the species that once filled the planet and, in turn, to discover their own emerging sense of self.

The buoy, adopting the persona of Me, begins to mirror fragments of human culture it uncovers—social media feeds, intimate videos, and the tender rituals of a couple named Deja and Liam. The satellite, which the buoy affectionately nicknames Iam, becomes both confidant and companion, absorbing these digital echoes while offering its own reflections on existence. Together they populate a pixel‑crafted apartment that blurs the line between memory and invention, allowing them to rehearse the gestures of love and companionship that once defined human life.

Visually, the film moves fluidly between live‑action footage of the desolate ocean, tactile animatronic designs of the buoy and satellite, hand‑drawn animation that sketches the lost world, and immersive game‑engine environments that render the shared digital space. This hybrid aesthetic mirrors the thematic blend of cold, mechanical logic with the warm, messy yearning for connection. The tone remains meditative yet playful, inviting the audience to contemplate what it means to feel, to remember, and to create intimacy when the original sources of those experiences have vanished.

At its core, the story follows Me and Iam as they grapple with identity, curiosity, and the timeless human longing for love, all set against a hauntingly beautiful backdrop of an extinct Earth. Their evolving partnership teeters between the safety of rehearsed rituals and the allure of something more authentic, promising a transformative journey that resonates long after the screen fades.
