Technology in the 21st century has evolved so much that it scares people. There is the fear of "mass chipping", for example. If we dig deeper into history, we will find out that back in the 60s the scientist Jose Delgado could stop a rushing bull using an integrated chip and remote control. Today, implants are widely used in medicine. There are neurostimulators, cochlear implants (artificial hearing). Our film is about technology, which, on the one hand, opens up great opportunities, and on the other hand, makes you question freedom, ethics, and the society which we live in.
