An endearing outlier, Brian lives alone in a Welsh valley, inventing oddball contraptions that seldom work. After finding a discarded mannequin head, Brian gets an idea. Three days, a washing machine, and sundry spare parts later, he’s invented Charles, an artificially intelligent robot who learns English from a dictionary and proves a charming, cheeky companion. Before long, however, Charles also develops autonomy. Intrigued by the wider world — or whatever lies beyond the cottage where Brian has hidden him away — Charles craves adventure.

England, 1926. An American journalist looks for mystery writer Agatha Christie when she suddenly disappears without explanation, leaving no trace.

A lonely farmer and his droll yet excitable robot companion.

A filmmaker tries to discover himself by making a film... he fails.

Two confused twenty-somethings begin to fall for each following a drunken one night stand. But a surreal encounter with some friends threatens to derail their blossoming romance.

A couple think moving to the coast will solve everything.
