Heartbeeps

Get ready for a futuristic love story like no other as comedy legend Andy Kaufman and song-and-dance great Bernadette Peters co-star in this charming, offbeat romantic-comedy by cult filmmaker Allan Arkush. While standing on a bleak factory repair shelf, ValCom-17485 (Kaufman), a robot valet, and hostess robot AquaCom-89045 (Peters) strike up a conversation. What starts as an instant connection soon transforms into love, and the two decide to override their programmed lives and explore the forbidden world beyond the factory window. With the police on their trail and a baby on the way, they’re on the digital road to romance and adventure in this heartwarming comedy that is truly “electric.” (Kino Lorber)
