In I AM, a hermit in a dystopian world takes in an android, and the unusual encounter awakes dark memories.

One day the withdrawn Noé finds a motionless android in the forest, takes it with her, and reactivates it. It's the beginning of a strange relationship. However, Noé realizes far too late that the android is about to copy her personality.
