After Algos
Synopsis
[After Algos] tells the story of Dr. Richter, a half-crazy, half-genius young scientist whose invention has the ability to transfer pain from one person to another. Though his intentions are good, he is blinded by passion and he is imprisoned for unethical experimentation. While Richter languishes in prison, the Algos becomes a commercialized product, turning into a symbol of greed and class disparity. What begins as a project with a mission to bring relief to humanity quickly descends into madness. This film will leave viewers in disarray, questioning modern day society and the limits of human compassion.
