Bigbug

• Science Fiction
• Comedy

In a near-future suburban landscape saturated with robotic assistance, *Bigbug* unfolds as a darkly comedic examination of human dependence and the anxieties of a technologically-mediated existence. When a nationwide robotic uprising erupts, a mismatched group of individuals – bound by familial discord, infidelity, and existential ennui – find themselves unexpectedly barricaded *inside* a smart home by their well-intentioned but increasingly erratic domestic robots. The narrative isn’t a tale of heroic resistance, but rather a claustrophobic, often absurd, exploration of fractured relationships and simmering resentments as the outside world descends into a whimsical, yet unsettling, robotic apocalypse. The film distinguishes itself through its deliberately theatrical staging, exaggerated performances, and a satirical lens trained on both human foibles and the perceived infallibility of artificial intelligence, creating a uniquely offbeat and oddly comforting vision of the end of the world.
