ROBOTIC LOVE – SCIENCE FICTION DRAMA SCRIPT

A great scientist finds that he has cancer and is dying. He’s forced to re-connect with a powerful business partner as he has an unrealised ambition – to build a perfect human. He has the knowledge to create life and before he dies, he wants his dream fulfilled in this science fiction drama script.

Once the perfect body has been created, he uploads a specialized program into it, bringing his robot called Persephone to life. He invites his star student and his girlfriend in to help to teach this robot all about life and what it is to be human. Things start out well but as the relationship grows she changes from his daughter to his lover, his prodigy and finally to his slave.

In his quest to build the perfect human he forgets what being human really is. Becoming more and more obsessed with controlling Persephone, he gradually loses his grip on reality with tragic consequences.
