Acclaimed writer/director Mamoru Oshii's follow-up to his animé hit Ghost in the Shell is set in 2032. Humans coexist with cyborgs (human spirits in mechanized bodies) and dolls (robots with no human elements at all). Batou, a detective for the government's anti-terrorist unit, is a cyborg. While investigating the case of a gynoid - a hyper-realistic female robot - who slaughters her owner, Batou is confronted by questions about humanity's need to immortalize its image. The answers lead to the shocking truth behind the crime…and quite possibly the very meaning of life.
