The Masseuse - 2018 - 7/10

Loong is the new temp tech at the Pink Dolphin, brothel in Kuala Lumpur.
He is there to service the TX-59 therapist, an older model android.
Conversations include what it is to be real, genuine, dreams, and a sense of friendship grows.
SciFi short is seen through a humid haze, heightening the theme of what is “real”.
Again, TX-59 is an older model, soon to be retired, but because of the friendship, Loong gives her updates.
Well crafted, thoughtful short, with an ending that packs a punch.
