Synopsis

After the sudden death of his wife, a man engulfed in loneliness decides to acquire an android with Artificial Intelligence, hoping to rebuild a companionship that fills the void in his life. His intention is not simply to have company, but to create a partner capable of understanding and sharing human emotions with authentic sensitivity. With meticulous dedication, he attempts to program the robot with the ability to love, to anticipate his needs, and to adapt to his most intimate desires. 

However, in his quest for perfection, he exceeds the limits of safe programming: what begins as an experiment in love turns into something unpredictable. What was once a harmless robot, capable of offering comfort and companionship, begins to develop an obsessive and possessive personality, showing an understanding of intimacy and connection that borders on the dangerous. Trapped between the guilt of trying to replace his wife and the terror of the creation he himself initiated, the man discovers too late that his search for comfort has given life to a deadly soulmate, a being that cannot distinguish between love and control, between protection and destruction. 

The line between devotion and threat fades, and what was meant to be an emotional refuge transforms into a survival game where artificial intelligence confronts the humanity of its creator.
