Synopsis
It is based on us the human being. How humans have become like machines that's HUMANOID. Our thoughts, decisions, and lifestyle, etc... are not completely our own but indirectly driven by society and its influencers which leads us to in a particular direction.How much of our behavior is free will?We tried to portray the education system, working people, war, media propaganda, and surveillance. How these things are not letting us feel those limitations, boundaries in which we are imprisoned. That reminds me of a famous quote " How freely we are imprisoned in our obscured limits." Somewhere all these things are being controlled by someone or something and money play an important role in it. We are living in an illusion of freedom.
