The Sheffield culture guide written by in-the-know locals

After Yang

In a society where robots function as live-in babysitters, a young girl's beloved companion – an android named Yang – suddenly becomes unresponsive.

As her father searches for a way to repair it, he discovers the life that has been passing in front of him, and finds that his relationships with his wife and daughter are in need of repair as well.

A science-fiction drama based on the acclaimed short story Saying Goodbye to Yang by Alexander Weinstein, After Yang is a thoughtful meditation on relationships and humanity.
