Synopsis
In the near future, the company FUZHIPIN tests its ANBIs—androids almost indistinguishable from humans—through the “Test Life” program, in which they must live with real families. Alex, a company psychologist, moves to southern Mexico with his two children and María, an android created by his late wife to take her place as their mother.
As the community rejects the androids and María begins to show unexpected emotions, this science fiction story explores a deeply human conflict: what it means to be a family, to be a person, and to be “real” in a world where machines can learn to feel.
Starring José María Yazpik, Astrid Berges, Andrés Parra, Karla Souza, Natalia Solián, and a remarkable ensemble cast including Ilse Salas, Flavio Medina, and Humberto Bustos, among others, Futuro Desierto premieres on May 22 on Netflix.
