Set in Los Angeles in the near future, Her follows
Theodore (Joaquin Phoenix), a complex, soulful man who makes his
living writing touching, personal letters for other people.
Heartbroken after the end of a long relationship, he becomes
intrigued with a new, advanced operating system, which promises to
be an intuitive and unique entity in its own right. Upon initiating
it, he is delighted to meet “Samantha,” a bright, female voice
(Scarlett Johansson) who is insightful, sensitive and surprisingly
funny. As her needs and desires grow, in tandem with his own, their
friendship deepens into an eventual love for each other.
