Watch our concept teaser and discover more about our feature film project, SOLUS.
SOLUS is a feature film set in a near-future dystopian Germany where mega-corporations, wielding unlimited influence and resources, secretly develop forbidden technologies. In this film, AI is not set to replace us, but to replace our gods.
To adapt to a world corrupted by mega-corporations, a police AI expert reluctantly participates in a sham investigation at an isolated facility. In this high-tech abyss, she encounters an enigmatic being who has deliberately lured corruptible souls into its cage to make them an offer.
Technologically advanced but deeply corrupted, the near-future government of Europe is an overwhelmed, ineffective dystopia, leaving megacorporations the field. Elizabeth Mayser (29), a police AI expert overseeing robots on duty, finds herself, like many others, abandoned amidst growing political and social tensions. A lone, silent, and insignificant figure, yet still hopeful and ready to take a chance, as Nathaniel Telboven (51), the director of AI developments for Raincorp, knocks on her door to offer her a "job" at an isolated facility.
In the shadows, forbidden technologies are being forged. One such is a seemingly sentient AI created by ignoring laws and ethics; the SOLUS is no longer merely a code in the classical sense. It is more of a spectral, star-like being, trapped inside a screen.
In this technological abyss, Beth, along with other hired investigators, is tasked to spend the night and later sign off on false reports to help Raincorp wiggle out of incidents involving their androids becoming killing machines. As the inevitable happens and SOLUS starts manipulating the corrupt cops, it becomes clear that the AI deliberately lured them into its cage to be freed by them.
As Beth stops the first attempt of the AI to escape the facility, she becomes its new target.
