The world of a corporate cleaner collapses, when he gets replaced by a robot.

Directors Statement

I have always been fascinated with technology, science fiction and film noir. My decision was to explore dark and pessimistic themes of technological unemployment”, where machines are displacing human labour. In my humble opinion, this may possibly happen in not-so- distant future. The role of a human being in the world of an increasingly automated society is being questioned more often, than ever. Just like most of classic sci-fi stories, my movie also mentions the evolution of artificial intelligence (AI). However I decided to keep a lot of things up for viewer’s interpretation, as AI may very well be much more advanced for us to fully understand.
