Paul Mescale and Saoirse Ronan’s sci-fi romance on Prime Video

Terrence (Aaron Pierre), A government company representative requesting Junior’s services assures Hen that she will have an artificial copy of her husband during her years of absence. In hours of footage, we get to two twists in the script that change the meaning of the story, from their reunion with them and the difficulties the government’s initiative brings them.

intruder It begins with Han saying that Junior has distanced himself from him and their relationship has cooled. However, after Terence’s arrival and the announcement that Junior will have to travel into space, the couple slowly reconnects. What at first seems like a bond reset due to Junior’s imminent departure soon turns out to be another explanation.

Later in the film, we discover that the version of Junior we follow throughout the film is actually a copy of Junior. Genesis went into space as soon as it began intruder; Hence the chicken gets nervous and dismissive of him, asking him to sleep in the guest room. After all, he knows the truth and considers him a stranger.

Thus, throughout the film we meet human substitutes. In addition to the chicken’s initial reaction (a magnificent work of restraint and subtlety by Ronan), the film gives hints about it, such as the beetle scene or when Junior runs into the burning house in the desert, as evidence that the protagonist behaves differently.

The two years we follow the couple is the time the real juniors have spent in space. When the original Junior returns home from the mission, they turn off his replica and place the body in a plastic bag in a violent and profane scene. Garth Davies explains DigitalSpy), A play with light that marks the beginning and end of the alternative: “The green light gave life to the beginning of the film and the pink light was its death.”

Han, on the other hand, has fallen in love with an artificial version of her husband, as he represented Junior when they met. The replica, unlike the original, has evolved in such a way that the hen has returned to feeling passionate about herself and has avoided toxic behaviors and behaviors, such as getting angry when she plays the piano. But the real junior returns and is unhappy and argues with him.

After the death of the duplicate, Hen meets the real Junior who went into space, whom she felt very distant from her. Although he tries to get close to her, he crashes into a wall. In a key scene, Hen runs into the garden to enjoy the rain and tries to get Junior to join in the fun, but instead of being excited about his wife, he gets angry.

Additionally, the feelings that Hen has developed for Junior’s replacement creates insecurities at the root. Thus, the protagonist, fed up with her situation, decides to break the piano she plays in the basement, leaving a blank letter for her husband. Han had a talk with Terrance earlier in which he told him that he wanted to leave Junior with a blank letter, but he didn’t dare do it.

However, there is one last surprise for viewers. Junior returns home and finds a letter from Hen. Desperate, he searches for her at her workplace, but cannot find her. However, in the last minutes of intruder, The hen appears just in time for dinner. Or, rather, its humble and ready substitute. A real chicken is on a plane heading to its new life.

Although the movie doesn’t explain it, it seems to be all Terrance is doing. A government emissary visits the protagonist’s house, finds Hen’s broken piano, and realizes that she has kept her promise to leave. Using the memories Hen shared with him during Junior’s absence, he creates a replacement and sends her to the protagonist. Apparently, Junior notices this change, but isn’t overly concerned.
