If anyone hasn't seen it yet there is an excellent short movie online called "I'm not a Robot". [VIDEO] Well worth a watch.

Oh my, a Dutch film that actually sounds good?! I get to watch a movie that's originally in my native language for perhaps the second time in my life, thanks for linking this :D Edit: and it's on YouTube in full! Was wondering which streaming service I'd have to buy for this niche genre of Dutch sci-fi but that makes life easy: [VIDEO] Final update: well, that was certainly special. Favorite moment was 10:26–10:36 ^^. Don't think that comes fully across in the baked-in subtitles in English though. Overall it could have been an episode of Dark Mirror, just shorter. Thanks again for the tip :)
