Frank Langella is a retired thief in the onset of dementia in this drama set in the near future.  His son and daughter are busy with their lives and can’t look after him, so the son buys a robot to do the job.  Frank resists at first, until he finds that the robot can serve him in more ways than were originally intended.  And the robot then becomes Frank’s friend and ally.  Interesting social commentary about intelligence and morals and aging.  Well done.
