“After you wake up, you have only two choices – to check your phone before you go to the toilet, or check your phone while you are in the toilet”.
How do tech companies run our lives? Is artificial intelligence an assistant or a rival? Would you like to have a chip implanted in you? Why is now the best time to make a career? And also - how much does our life today depend on ourselves and what can we expect tomorrow? Leading Russian experts answer these and many other questions.

Director’s statement
It seemed interesting to look into the future, to explore what awaits us, to communicate with people who create the reality which we will inhabit tomorrow. In the process of working on the film, it became clear that the topic of the future is much closer to each of us than it seems at first glance. The future is created by the choices we make every day. I sincerely believe that the main battlefield between good and evil is the human heart. I wanted to make a film not just about artificial intelligence, cybermen, future tech and other novel trends. And also, about the responsibility of each of us for our lives and for the decisions we make.
