The power of justice cannot be measured in “gigabytes!”
In a dystopian future, a city is divided into two parts by sharp lines. At one end, Ethem struggles to survive on the border of the orange lines. At the other, Meto—a social media phenomenon robot built for advertising purposes—lives a completely different life. These two “children,” who would normally only meet in dreams, now find themselves as defendants in an extraordinary robbery case. Will the judicial system be able to maintain its impartiality in such a high-profile trial? In a society where justice is measured in “gigabytes,” who will be accused, and who will be acquitted?
KEY NOTES:
