SOFIE | The Last Housemaid
SOFIE is a silent generative AI short film set inside an old-money mansion after the collapse of civilization. A luxury household robot continues cleaning, arranging, and serving with perfect grace, even as her human owners decay into remnants of themselves. Through music, visual contrast, and dark humor, the film turns domestic service into a quiet expression of sorrow: a machine preserving the rituals of care after humanity has lost the ability to understand them.
