Other name: 本心

Description:

"Honshin" unravels a heart-wrenching mystery when a son's mother unexpectedly dies by suicide. Despite her seemingly joyful life, she leaves a cryptic message, hinting at a profound secret she desperately wanted to confide. Overwhelmed by grief and a desperate need for answers, the son approaches Japan's most cutting-edge AI technology company. His extraordinary request: to recreate his mother digitally, believing this will finally allow him to understand her true thoughts and the reasons behind her tragic choice.

What begins as a sincere quest for understanding soon descends into a psychological and ethical labyrinth. As the artificial intelligence constructs and interacts, the lines between genuine emotion and programmed responses blur. The son’s relentless pursuit of his mother’s true sincerity forces him to confront the unsettling reality that he is progressively losing his own heart and dignity.
