The film is based on five cases of people with implants in the head. Against the backdrop of the growing popularity of the topic of “chipping” and fear of being controlled by artificial intelligence, filmmakers find five dramatic stories where the “chip in the head” is a vital necessity. With the help of implants, doctors cure deafness, remove tremor from patients with parkinsonism, stop epilepsy attacks and treat dystonia. Where can the scientific discoveries of the recent years lead us? Is it possible to control people with the help of technology and what neuroethical issues are encountered in its use?

The film about the great scientist, thinker, human rights activist is based on the memories of his associates, declassified documents of the Central Committee of the CPSU and the KGB of the USSR, a chronicle shot by the KGB in the city of Gorky, and most importantly, animated drawings that Andrei Dmitrievich left on the margins of notebooks with formulas, in letters to children and grandchildren, as well as simply inventing some fantastic characters.

Anthropomorphic robots are increasingly being introduced into our lives: they meet us at the reception, educate children and even live in families as partners. Scientists are trying to make robots as human-like as possible. In the late 80s, scientists studying the emotional reaction of people to robots discovered the "uncanny valley effect": the most humanoid robots caused dislike and even fear in people. But what will happen when they become indistinguishable from a person? And will they?

In the film, we look into the future. How does scientific knowledge change our worldview, culture and environment? On the one hand, the development of technology expands our boundaries of freedom - we live longer, learned to establish communication with paralyzed people, etc. But the more scientists learn about the brain, the more questions arise. Back in the 1980s, Benjamin Libet conducted experiments that, according to many scientists, proved that man does not have free will. Neuroscientists say that our behavior and decisions depend only on the activity of neurons.

What is a human brain? Is it just a part of central nervous system, super computer or master who controls human's life? Modern neuroscience researches will help us answer this questions.

Three physicists in search of the grail, each - his own. One hopes to find gravitational waves, the other - axions, the third is looking for magnetic monopoles. Each of these waves and particles is predicted by theorists, but whether it exists in nature in reality, no one knows for sure.

In the land where, after the closure of the state farms, arable land has already become overgrown with birch forests, the farmer Valery Kravtsov is developing his small farm.
