Pluto (2023) — Story, Release Date, Rating

Synopsis:

In a near-future Europe where advanced robots are integrated into society, android detective Gesicht investigates a series of perplexing murders. The victims are retired war machines, each connected to a select group of the most powerful combat units ever created. As Gesicht delves deeper, the investigation raises unsettling questions about the nature of consciousness and the boundaries between humanity and artificial intelligence.

The cases defy conventional understanding; robots are theoretically incapable of causing harm. Yet, the precision of the killings and the lack of human involvement suggest a killer who might be either human or another advanced machine. Partnered with Atom, a remarkably human-like android, Gesicht navigates a world grappling with the implications of sophisticated robotics, striving to uncover a motive behind these targeted eliminations before societal order collapses. The narrative explores themes of identity, prejudice, and the potential consequences of unchecked technological advancement within a contemplative and suspenseful atmosphere.
