Love Me is a 2025 Australian sci-fi drama directed by Josephine Bornebusch, running 91 minutes. At its core it is an unconventional romance — a story of connection, longing, and identity played out between two non-human entities adrift in a vast, indifferent universe.
What is Love Me about?
After humanity has vanished from Earth, an orbiting satellite named Me begins intercepting old social-media broadcasts from the age of people. Through these archived fragments of human life — selfies, confessionals, mundane posts — Me develops a desperate yearning to understand what it meant to be alive. Below, a buoy called Deja bobs in the silent ocean, equally alone and similarly curious. As their signals find each other across the emptiness, the two entities slowly forge something neither was built for: an emotional bond. The film asks whether connection itself — the raw impulse to reach toward another — is enough to constitute love, even when neither party is human.
Cast & crew
The film is directed by Swedish-Australian filmmaker Josephine Bornebusch, best known for her comedy work in Scandinavia. Bojana Novaković and Hugo Weaving lead the voice and performance work, joined by William Lodder, Bob Morley, Heather Mitchell, Shalom Brune-Franklin, and Celia Pacquola — an ensemble that grounds an abstract premise in recognisably human feeling.
Context & significance
For Persian-speaking audiences in the diaspora, Love Me carries a particular resonance. The experience of displacement — of broadcasting one's identity into a void and hoping something out there receives it — mirrors the emotional reality many Iranians abroad carry daily. The film's meditative pace and philosophical questions about memory, longing, and what we leave behind speak directly to a community shaped by distance and loss. It arrives on K-Time with a full Persian dub, making it accessible to the whole family regardless of English fluency. Australian productions of this kind rarely receive wide distribution in the diaspora market, so K-Time's availability is a genuine point of access to a quietly ambitious piece of contemporary sci-fi filmmaking.
