Plot

In the near future, the media is saturated with information, making it difficult to discern people’s true needs and problems. The story revolves around the Hacka Dolls, robots with an AI system created for the help and personal entertainment of its users. Each AI application synchronizes with its user, automatically analyzing their tastes and preferences in order to provide personalized assistance or recommendations. Three of these Hacka Dolls are clumsy though, a trait that sets the plot in motion.
