Family/ChildComing of AgeSF/Fantasy

How can we fill the void if the person we love most disappears in an instant? Mothernet explores the relationship between Rama (Ali Fikry), a boy going through a tumultuous adolescence, and an artificial intelligence. In the near future, in a happy family on the outskirts of a big city, Rama′s mother (Dian Sastrowardoyo) accidently falls into a coma. As she is Rama’s entire world of care and understanding, he joins forces with a hacker friend to create an AI that learns from his mother’s online footprint. Director Ho Wi Ding, who explored the concepts of solitude and connection between people in his previous films such as Pinoy Sunday (2010) and Cities of Last Things (2018), weaves together a warm family drama with a hallucinatory, distorted sci-fi sensibility in Mothernet. Ultimately, the question he poses to the audience is, "As what will we be remembered by, and in what ways will we be loved?"
