Kristian Emminghaus, a patient at the Emil Kraepelin Institute for Experimental Psychology, is a psychopath about to undergo one of the most important operations in medical history. The detainee, who has been under investigation for five years, is scheduled to be given additional empathy as a punishment for several murders.
But Kristian does not want to become socially fit. He is convinced that since he was born a psychopath, he is entitled to remain so. As fate would have it, Kristian encounters Emili Kraepelin, who has been studying Kristian for years as part of her doctoral thesis before the operation.
The nightmare of a psychological power play begins, endangering dozens of lives, challenging the artificial intelligence of the researchers, and blurring the boundaries between empathy and psychopathy. The intense and sharp dialogue of the actors in the near future plays on the sensitivity of both the characters and the viewer.
A psychological thriller spiced with very black humour, it embraces technological existentialism, where desires, passion and needs collide with a programmed and coded world of the future that still has room for forgetting and dreaming.
