It’s not a glamorous life, but it’s a living. Manipulated by his crooked boss and ridiculed by his colleagues, he suffers a series of personal setbacks throughout his life in a gigantic, lonely megalopolis. The day his mother dies, his life turns upside down. Shaken by this tragedy and encouraged by his friend, he decides to take the plunge and test Live Memorium, an illegal technology that offers its users the ability to relive their childhood memories and act differently within them. Once inside the machine, Tomasu can see his mother again and change the course of certain events that led to his deep trauma. He asserts himself with more confidence and reconnects with his childhood sweetheart, but in the process, loses touch with reality. It is the beginning of a self-destructive spiral, where the virtual world and the real world become one . . .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA dystopian tale with a cyberpunk flavor, Live Memorium projects us into another dimension.
