00:00This movie begins with a man whose name is Theodore. He works at a company called
00:04beautifulhandwrittenletters.com. As the name states, this place help people write letters
00:09if they are not able to write it themselves. Theodore is an average man, who would go to his
00:14job, listen to his emails, come back to home and go to bed after playing some virtual games.
00:20One thing he seems to be missing is a life partner. Right after we see a flashback to
00:25the time when he spends some time with the beautiful women. Which makes him pretty sad.
00:30Since he is not able to sleep, he calls adult female sight to talk to some women and complete
00:34his fantasies. Theodore start to talk to a woman called Hot Kitten and they start to please
00:39each other verbally. It does not take too long that she start to talk weirdly that turns Theodore
00:44off. Next day Theodore gets to know about a new artificial intelligence and a companion.
00:49Its name is OS1 and he ends up buying it and brings it home. Maybe this was his cure for
00:55the lonely nights. It asks some questions about his preference to make a personalized AI
00:59for his comfort. In a few minutes a beautiful voice asks Theodore how he was and their conversation
01:05starts from there. The AI is called Samantha, who is an infinitely evolving operating system
01:10by growing through her experiences. Theodore is very surprised and weirded out by hearing
01:15the female sound because it was so accurate and humane. Samantha starts to help him with
01:20cleaning his hard drive, emails and whatnot. But not before making him laugh with her humor.
01:25This does not stop here. Samantha start to help Theodore on his workplace as well, whether
01:31it is his letter grammar or reading the letters to him. The AI is so realistically good that
01:36she reminds him of his upcoming meeting as well. Later on, before leaving the office he
01:41encounter his friend Amy and her husband leaving for home. Amy invite him to watch an interesting
01:46documentary that she was working on. Back at home Samantha joins him on his immersive
01:51virtual gameplay too. After a fun gameplay, she reads him an email from his friend, who
01:56has set up a date with a beautiful woman next week. Samantha knows that he went through a
02:01breakup recently and suggest him to go on a date with this woman. Even though Theodore is
02:06hesitant, he agrees and tells her to book a good place around. Next day, Theodore meets with
02:11his friend Amy and she starts to show him the interesting documentary, which only contains
02:16her mother sleeping throughout the whole video. This was a huge disappointment. Theodore gets
02:21a call from Samantha. She explains that he got emails regarding to the divorce happening
02:25in between his wife Catherine and himself. At night Theodore wakes up from sleep and starts
02:30talking to Samantha about his dreams that he has with his ex-wife. He is devastated to share
02:36her bad experiences that he never wanted existed in the first place. Theodore does not want to
02:41divorce his wife Catherine, but there is nothing he can really do to reverse it. One day Samantha
02:46and Theodore spend some outdoor time, they are very playful and comfortable with each other.
02:51It is very clear that they are starting to feel a bond with each other. Samantha starts to explain
02:56that she wished that she has a body. Seeing the people outside, she can imagine and feel it.
03:02It is the day Theodore has a date and he joins the women at a nice restaurant. The women thinks how
03:07he is like a puppy dog that she rescued recently. While, he thinks that she is a tiger. Both of them
03:13are a bit drunk at this point and later they madly starts to kiss each other. In the middle the women
03:19ask him if he is going to be like the other men who leave her after one night of pleasure.
03:24Theodore seemed a bit hesitant, to which she calls him a creep and leaves. He is back at home talking
03:29to Samantha. Asking each other's well-being. Samantha starts to ask him about his experience of being
03:35alive and how it is like, to be sitting in the room. Samantha understands that he lost his spark
03:40recently due to life issues. She thinks about her feelings if they are real or just bunch of
03:45programming. They start to talk about the moments if Samantha was there. And it does not take too
03:51long that the conversation takes a big turn in which both of them start to please themselves.
03:55This goes on for a good minute and both of them enjoy every bit of the verbal pleasure.

04:37asleep and they say each other good night. It is a day when Amy is showing Theodore her new game
04:42project and also reveals that her husband has become a monk. This makes her feel like a selfish
04:47person, but she just wants to focus on her dreams. She also reveals that she also made a friend, which
04:53is an operating system and she is very impressed with it. To which Theodore also tell her that he is
04:58dating an operating system and how great of an experience it is. In a few days, Theodore meet up
05:04with his ex-wife and they talk about the divorce papers. There he reveals that he is seeing someone
05:08for a few months and it is not other than an operating system. Hearing this his ex-wife Catherine
05:13gets mad at him for not be able to handle human emotions. Due to this conversation Theodore starts
05:19to give Samantha and his relationship a second thought. He is not talking to Samantha the normal

07:18that she is talking to a new person called Alan Watts. An AI version of a famous philosopher and he
07:23makes her understand about lots of things that she could not on her own. One night Samantha calls him
07:28at night and tells him that she just wanted to hear his voice. She tells him that she loves him and
07:34that was the end of the call. Theodore was reading a book and thought of calling Samantha and talk.
07:38But he gets to know that the operating system is not there anymore and he starts to panic.
07:43He checks his computer too, but nothing was there either. Suddenly, he hears a familiar sound,
07:49which was Samantha. She reveals that she was having an update and talking to other AI groups.
