Overview

The film is based on real-life events. Alena, a voice-over star, suddenly discovers that her voice has been stolen by the developers a major bank's neural network. Now her voice can be heard everywhere—from airport announcements to entertainment and gaming platforms. Alena realizes that in the modern reality a person's voice does not fall under legal protection. Thus, not only voice-over actors but everyone is at risk.
