What happens in Cassandra?

Germany’s first smart home, which has stood empty since the ’70s, is finally inhabited once again. Samira (Tander) has just moved in with her husband, David (Klammer), and their two children, Fynn (Kantara) and Juno (Tölle) after tragedy hit too close to their former home. Luckily, as they rebuild their lives, they have some help adjusting to their new house: an AI home system named Cassandra that helps with cooking, cleaning, and even watching the children. In fact, she’s watching just about everything that goes on here. Before Cassandra’s consciousness was uploaded into this smart home’s computers, she spent her human existence living miserably with her son and her wayward husband. Now, Cassandra will do whatever it takes to oust Samira so she can at last have the happy family she’s always dreamed of.
