Directed by Andy and Sam Zuchero, 'Love Me' uniquely explores themes of sentience and identity in a post-apocalyptic setting. The story follows a SMART buoy, voiced by Kristen Stewart, that gains rudimentary consciousness after humanity has vanished. In a quest for companionship, the buoy connects with an orbiting satellite, evolving their relationship into a deep romance. Amid humorous exchanges and the impact of personal revelations, the film presents an innovative outlook on love and identity amidst desolation, challenging conventional sci-fi narratives.
At its core, Love Me is less pure sci-fi and more a postapocalyptic love story about transformation.
The buoy has achieved a rudimentary sentience, sufficient to respond to the recorded message being beamed out by an orbiting satellite.
They become increasingly more advanced in their consciousness, exchanging eccentric inspirational memes, re-enacting the YouTubers' 'date night,' and eventually falling in love.
Eager to have a friend-even one that's basically a sophisticated space chatbot-the buoy studies the vast online database of information about humanity.
