Overview:

A dystopian city that relies on Ai. The city requires everyone to go through an interview a few times in their life that makes the decision to either let them resume their lives or go to a facility where they work for the good of the people above while they get replaced by a fully Ai version of themselves. This film revolves around a girl getting this interview and her friend taking her there. This film deals with the reality of AI and its impact on art, people, lifestyles. The entire interview is a metaphor for how Ai is taking the soul of art and how people see efficiency as more valuable than quality and meaning.
