<div dir="ltr">Automaton, or Automata. Something like that. I saw it once: absolutely terrible movie, even by indie standards. I can't find it on IMDB or Google. The patriarchal figure is her grandfather, who left her recorded messages. Promising premise, but the movie itself was just... bad.</div>
