The first of the new Black Mirror films, Be Right Back, stars Hayley Atwell as Martha and Domhnall Gleeson as a social media addict named Ash. They’re a young couple who move to a remote cottage, but tragedy strikes the day after they move in when Ash is killed returning the hired van.
At the funeral, Martha’s friend Sarah (Sinead Matthews) tells her about a new way to stay in touch with the deceased and reveals that, by using all his previous online communications, status updates and the like, Martha could create a new, alarmingly ‘real’ Ash to help alleviate her grief.
While Martha is initially disgusted by the idea and wants nothing to do with it, she soon discovers that she is pregnant and decides to respond to an email she receives from “Ash”.
