Synopsis:

Set against the backdrop of modern Italy, the narrative centers on a clandestine Social Welfare Agency operating in the shadows. The agency takes young women from hospitals and subjects them to extensive cybernetic augmentation, ostensibly for rehabilitation. However, this process transforms them into highly skilled operatives, molded for covert missions by the government.

The series explores the complex psychological landscape of these individuals – teenagers grappling with artificiality and the dissonance between manufactured affection and genuine human connection. It portrays their internal struggles as they navigate a world that views them solely as instruments. The story delves into themes of identity, autonomy, and the ethical implications of manipulating human potential, all while maintaining a somber and introspective atmosphere within its uniquely unsettling premise.
