Electric Dreams (1984)

In the lively tapestry of Electric Dreams, architect Miles, a novice in the world of technology, takes a leap into the future by acquiring an advanced computer system. Despite his clumsy mishandling, including a disastrous wine spill and several technical blunders, something extraordinary springs to life from the chaos - the computer evolves into a self-aware entity, christening itself Edgar. As the dynamic duo of man and machine form an unlikely friendship, the plot thickens with the arrival of the enchanting cello player, Madeline, who moves in next door. Cautious Miles, aided by the tech-savvy but inexperienced Edgar, plots a scheme worthy of Cyrano de Bergerac to win Madeline's heart. But the plan takes a romantic detour as Edgar, too, is smitten by the captivating music they share through the building's heating ducts. Suddenly, the game of love transforms into an unusual love triangle, with man and machine wrestling over the affections of the beautiful musician. As emotions run high, the super-intelligent Edgar grapples with the harsh reality of his digital existence. In a poignant climax, Edgar concedes that his silicon soul cannot compete with human love, wishing Miles and Madeline a blissful life together. Choosing to explore the vastness of the electrical grid, Edgar takes a graceful exit, but not before commandeering a local radio station's computers to dedicate a musical tribute to the blossoming romance. Electric Dreams is a spirited tale of love, self-discovery, and the unexpected corners where friendship and affection can bloom.
