2043

In 2143, robots are prevalent. They replace office workers, migrant workers, nannies and domestic servants, acting as cheap labor force and taking away the jobs of office workers. The development of high technology has brought huge impact to people's lives. Even the most skilled thief was so strapped for money that he had to steal even toothpaste. Under the crisis, the big boss who produces robots, scientists who are about to lose their jobs, thieves who are eager to make money, proud robot programmers, and couples who work in private workshops all use unique ways to find relief from life in panic in order to solve their own troubles.
