Synopsis: Lucy gets lost in the Cybernetics Institute and becomes a pawn (queen, actually) in a chess game that mad computers play with enslaved people for pieces. After she's killed, this turns out to be just a VR with which she was staving off boredom on vacation. But how many levels of reality are there actually? Compared to The Matrix by Polish fans; there was even talk of plagiarism by Snerg's publishers after the film came out.
