Likeable characters. The organised Lenert, the impulsive Rola and a Robothead called Susan set out for an adventure through the desert to find the "Crystal Lake", working together to avoid the desert pitfalls. A really nice movie to watch.

This was better than I expected it to be
Refreshing. stimulating, thought provoking, enjoyable, and different! Pleasure to watch!
This movie does have plenty to say.. and it's clever enough to give you the space to think about it - instead of the usual bludgeoning into submission and acceptance!
It's minimalist for sure - a rare (and worthy) beast in the current cinema-scape of sensory bombardment that we have been instructed to become used to..
Credit to the entire team here for making simplicity cool, enjoyable and refreshing, as well as thought provoking and a pleasure to watch.
A most watchable interplay of performances, music, cinematography and script; this undemanding movie still stimulates - and gives you the space to consider the themes it explores - and there are more than a few, and nicely interweaved; conditioning, programming, the mother, AI, (very clever here) relationships, love, self and other, now.. and zen.. and it doesn't need to resort complexity to do all this.. the sheer simplicity works just fine ;>
Oh, and the soundtrack's yummy!
Unknown little gem. Slowburning, yet intriguing. Lovely and quirky. Definitely something else...
This is definitely something else. Slowburning, quirky, intriguing and lovely. AND quite original. With beautiful photography and music.
Unknow little gem, with only 22 reviews on Imdb, mine included. How is that possible?
The story: Julia Garner in a terrific role as one of 2 persons wandering through the desert in search for a lake. That's all there is to see. They wander around the desert, they drink, they eat, they talk to a robot...
Best suited for an arthouse audience, who likes quirky, slowburning tales.
