Ten-year-old Elli is an android. She takes shape through programming and this turns her into a fantasy figure. Firstly for a man she calls “Daddy”. Elli is the vessel for his memories, which mean nothing to her, but everything to him. One day he runs after a strange echo and gets lost in the darkness while Elli, who follows him, is picked up by strangers. A new identity awaits her, a new ghostly existence — as a blank screen onto which others can project their loss of the paradise that is childhood.
