After the death of his mother, Ian (Johnny Berchtold) begins cleaning out the family home while his estranged sister Lisa (Jennifer Hasty) makes funeral arrangements. The tensions between them become more heated after Ian hides a precious memento from Lisa, forcing her to call in help from a mysterious investigator.
A moving drama about mourning and loss, A Hard Problem transforms Knoxville into a recognizable near-future in which artificial intelligence has become an everyday convenience and moral dilemma. In the lineage of sci-fi classics like Frankenstein and Blade Runner, the film is interested in the increasingly blurred lines between technology, consciousness, and the human soul.
A Hard Problem is the first feature film written and directed by the LA-based duo known as hazart.
