Can you fall in love with an avatar? Is it okay to insult Alexa? What to do when Replika feels lonely? These questions raised by the use of artificial intelligence are at the origin of the Games of love and the enigma.

In a classroom, an hour of glue that lasts forever, Charlie, Rafie and Max will meet. What relationship can be created between these two people and a machine?

Rafie is a fan of movies, Charlie stutters, she has language disorders; she has a machine, a verbal auxiliary, Max, who looks like a portable speaker, speaks in her place when she has trouble finishing her sentences and triggers after 5 seconds of silence. Max is not very useful for homework but gives his opinion all the time, especially on moral issues and to direct theater scenes. Rafie understands that the machine came into Charlie's life when she lost her mother. Gradually, the two teenagers will observe the growing sadness of Max, more and more offbeat, more and more useless. When the imaginary friend has fulfilled his function, as in E.T., he will have to leave.
