In the year 2032, futuristic crime fighters Bato and Togusa are assigned to investigate a murder spree suspected to be the work of rogue ‘gynoids‘ — female androids programmed for pleasure. As Bato dives deeper into the investigation and encounters an elusive hacker known as ‘The Puppet Master’, he is forced to reflect on the notions of love, attachment and arrogance in an increasingly artificial life. Mamoru Oshii’s follows-up his ground-breaking sci-fi drama with a new version of the story that surpasses the original in its beauty and melancholic overtones.
