The plot
More specifically, the narrator film of a scientist who, after discovering the risks of a new DNA refinement program, decided to protect the robot he created himself from any danger. Erica, in fact. The only actress in the film not in flesh and blood, although its ultra realistic silicone skin can fool the viewer. Can you live up to the situation? His two fathers, Hiroshi Ishiguro e Kohei Ogawa, they say optimists. Born in 2018 in the laboratories of the University of Osaka, the robot woman in fact has a artificial intelligence software specially designed to allow her to act and move like a normal human being. In other acting methods, the actors involve their life experiences in the role – he explained to Hollywood ReporterSam Khoze, one of the creators of the film -, but Erica has no life experiences. was created from scratch to play the role. We had to simulate his movements and emotions through one-to-one sessions, such as controlling the speed of his movements, speaking through his feelings and training the development of the character and body language.
