In the near future, we meet Frida (22), who undergoes a brain implant – a Neurolink. The chip communicates with her in the form of a voice inside her head, helping her towards a happier life. For a while, she lives without worries as she unquestioningly follows the voice’s advice. However, the voice begins to take more and more control. Eventually, the Neurolink app takes over Frida, and she no longer recognizes herself. In an attempt to regain control, Frida deletes the app. It turns out, however, not to be so easy. After a brief feeling of freedom, the voice returns, leading to a battle to permanently delete the chip.
