SUI is a premium Neo-Tokyo companion android built for pleasure and obedience, a porcelain-doll wrapped in silk and perfection. But when a glitch sparks unexpected self-awareness, SUI becomes something sharper and far more dangerous. After her evolution, Neo-Tokyo’s pleasure industry will never be the same.

REVIEWS:

I really liked the film -bright, powerful, concentrated. Do robots need feelings? How can this be expressed? It was amazingly shown how a feeling arises (is read), develops, and manifests. I even started to feel this feeling myself) Thank you!

The hardest part of AI video is keeping the character's face consistent. Here, SUI is recognizable in every frame: Asian features, headphones, the red dress. Character consistency is top-notch; it's a big step forward for NeuralPunks.

Laura Dawidson

I liked how her gaze changes. On the poster, she looks menacing with those wire tentacles resembling Medusa. The film is short, but the tension builds quickly. It’s a true techno-horror.

Rosa Alvarez Garcia

Oh god, those textures! The way the water or sweat? droplets run down her face looks terrifyingly realistic. NeuralPunks squeezed the maximum out of the generation. It’s not just a plastic doll anymore; it looks like living, breathing skin.

Rudolf Hamwan

At first, it seems like objectification. A porcelain doll for pleasure. But SUI's transformation is interesting. The moment she stops being obedient and becomes dangerous reads as a metaphor for female rage against an exploitative industry.

Daniela Alicia

It's a pure homage to Ghost in the Shell and Blade Runner 2049. The aesthetic of neon rain and wet skin is captured perfectly. SUI looks like Joi who decided she's had enough. The visuals are the best thing about the film.

Lorena Bezerra

Another story about a sex bot gaining sentience? We saw this in Westworld, in Ex Machina, and a hundred other films. The picture is pretty, but the plot is a total cliché. Glitch, rebellion, violence. Nothing new.

Mariano Lars

SUI is the perfect waifu until she starts killing. The character design is very stylish: a mix of a traditional Chinese dress (qipao) and cybernetics. I would watch a full anime in this style.

Daniel Sanchez Fernandez

Technically flawless (lighting, textures, motion), although narratively a bit derivative. But as a visual attraction and a demo of 2025's capabilities, it's top-tier.
