Duration: 113'
In a future megalopolis: a programmer in crisis, a virus in his videogame, the protagonist of the game which acquires consciousness and asks to be set free. After winning an Oscar with Mediterraneo, Gabriele Salvatores wrong-foots everyone and makes a cyberpunk sci-fi movie, straddling Blade Runner, the stories by William Gibson and Philip Dick, and the Nathan Never comic books. A UFO, a brave film which is still an oddity for Italian cinema.
