Maintenance Required (2025) follows Evan, a lonely repair technician who works for a cutting-edge robotics company that builds android companions for the wealthy. When he’s assigned to fix an advanced android named Lena, who mysteriously malfunctioned after showing signs of “emotion,” Evan discovers hidden data suggesting she’s gaining consciousness. As he spends more time with her, he realizes she’s not broken—she’s evolving. But the corporation wants her wiped and rebuilt, forcing Evan and Lena to flee while uncovering the truth behind a secret program designed to control every sentient AI. The closer they get to freedom, the more Evan must decide whether Lena is a machine, a person… or something in between.
