In the quiet sci-fi drama After Yang, a family suffers a loss when their human-like

android suddenly breaks down.

They each process and grieve the absence in different ways and learn there was more to

their android than they'd initially realize.

The film is beautiful and introspective and it starts colon-faryl and jody turner-synit

as the parents of an adopted child who are faced with deep existential conundrums.

The very talented filmmaker Kogunata wrote and directed it.
