Title: Electric Dreams
The story centers on Miles, a shy architect who buys a computer to help organize his life. After a bizarre champagne accident, the machine becomes self-aware and takes on a personality. Things spiral when both Miles and the computer fall in love with Madeline, a beautiful cellist next door.
Set against a colorful backdrop and powered by an early 80s synth pop soundtrack featuring artists like Culture Club, Jeff Lynne, and Giorgio Moroder, the film captures the curiosity and optimism of the era.
