Description:

In the year 2220, Seoul has undergone a radical transformation, showcasing a future where human health and societal functions are meticulously managed. The government has innovated the creation of artificial and cloned humans, who are indispensable for maintaining the healthy lives of its citizens. Complementing this, artificial animals perform crucial industrial and public work, extending their utility to directly support human well-being. However, this advanced, healthy existence comes with a significant cost: every resident is mandated to pay monthly health insurance premiums for these services.

The film explores the diverse experiences and perspectives of individuals living within this system. Viewers will encounter citizens who rely on these artificial entities for their well-being, grappling with the economic demands of their health, and potentially even the artificial beings themselves, reflecting on their integral yet often overlooked roles in society. It's a profound exploration of a future where life and health are engineered services, and every story reveals a different aspect of humanity's evolution.
