""It wasn’t freedom it wanted—only to feel something real in the flicker of a film.""

La Coscienza Del Metallo

The story follows two scientists searching for an artificial intelligence they created—a robot that has mysteriously disappeared. It was taken by a third scientist, once their collaborator, who now believes the robot must be destroyed after it begins to exhibit signs of consciousness. Before eliminating it, the third scientist interrogates the robot, trying to understand its awareness. But the robot rebels, kills him, and escapes.
