Unable to accept his ex Jess’s departure, Billy finds a website that allows him to design a sexbot in her image. ‘BabyDolls’ claim that their custom made sexbots have the ability to mirror their buyer’s behaviour, making them an idyllic partner for the purchaser. After falling victim to his own toxicity through Becks’ adaptive algorithm, Billy seeks to reconcile with Jess but his moment of redemption is cut short by Becks’ unusual act of revenge. BabyDolls is a dark comedy short that looks at fragile masculinity masked within alpha male bravado, paced to an original score and told through spoken word.

Screened as part of RHYTHM & RHYME shorts block with these films:
