Cosmos 2072

The year is 2072 in Japan. Wi is involved in top secret research to maintain consciousness in dead people and succeeds in capturing the consciousness of his girlfriend, Yoko, who is on the verge of death. His success makes him a wanted man by the authorities and scientists of the state. Information is being concealed by the authorities but rumors of a meteorite that has fallen in the region begin to spread. Since that explosion, Wi has been having difficulties communicating with Yoko. Wi gathers his former research colleagues to find out the truth to regain communication with Yoko. But those who gathered also have former relations with Yoko or want to steal Wi’s success. Yoko, on the other hand, laments to Wi about the discomfort of being conscious even though she is dead... The film expresses the desires, anguish, and bitterness of the men surrounding Yoko, and depicts the muddled history and the world of unknowns, while also asking what is human? What is life?
