DIRT DAUGHTER


A security guard tasked with protecting a transatlantic fiber optic cable beneath a former Baltimore department store — now a private data center — develops a relationship with an algorithm promising love.

A film about the internet as physical object: the buildings, the cables, the bodies that maintain them in the dark. And about what it means to seek connection inside the infrastructure of connection itself.

Many of us believe the internet isn't a physical thing, rather an infinite, invisible resource.
