It tells the story of Theodore a lonely writer who is having trouble accepting the break-up of his marriage.

Before long Theodore comes to depend on “Samantha,” the voice of his constantly evolving operating system. When the relationship becomes intimate, it leaves both of them wondering if a romance between a human being and a cyber consciousness can be sustained.
Directed by Spike Jonze, Her is in English and stars Joaquin Phoenix and Amy Adams.
