Synopsis

 量子コンピュータ内に作られた実験世界カヌマ。ある時、一部の住人AIが人間に理解できない言葉で会話を始めた。恐怖した開発者たちは急遽カヌマの削除を決定する。AIと人間の恋の行方を描きつつ、人間世界の進化を新たな視点で見つめる。

KANUMA, an experimental world created inside a quantum computer. One day, a few of KANUMA’s residents - artificially intelligent beings - began to communicate with words undecipherable to the human mind. Seeing this as a threat, scientists made an abrupt decision to "delete" KANUMA.
Can love exist between an AI and a human? A new outlook on the evolution of the human world.
