Lovable is a neural network project produced in the style of ‘new sincerity’ typical of the Andreasyan.Art group. The group believes that the most important elements of AI directing include a fascinating story, much agility and musical accompaniment. The film demonstrates not only the possibilities of AI directing, but also an allegorical approach to the problem of accepting foreign cultures that is relevant for today’s society, shown through the acceptance of AI robots by society in 2088. Marat is a conservative, but not without inner resistance he has to accept and understand his son Mark, who has proposed the AI robot woman Aya to become his wife. Marat clings to his beliefs and struggles, up to the wedding day. The media call the ceremony the “wedding of the century” – the first official union of a human and an anthropomorphic AI bot. Behind the scenes are jealousy, fear, despair. Marat is ready to do anything to frustrate the celebration. What will win? Prudence or stubbornness? The main questions of the film no longer seem to be fiction: – How hard is it to accept a foreign world and culture? - What makes a person human: the DNA or the ability to feel? – Are we ready to share the rights with those whom we have created? – Why do the greatest revolutions always start at the family table? “Lovable”is not a forecast, but an attempt to find an answer. According to director Artashes Andreasyan, “Technology is just an pretext here. The real war is wedged inside people.
Between fear and love. Between the past and the future. Between what we believed in and who we can become”.
