The Zero Theorem

Эксцентричный компьютерный гений Коэн Лет бьется над неразрешимой теоремой. Благодаря костюму для виртуальной реальности, изобретенному мальчиком Бобом, Лету удается совершить путешествие в скрытое пространство и узнать тайну своей души. Эту разгадку ищет не только он сам, но и таинственный Менеджмент, который правит всем миром посредством всевидящих устройств под названием ManCams.

À Londres, dans un futur indéterminé, un informaticien du nom de Qohen Leth vit dans une chapelle réaménagée en lieu d'habitation. Ne sortant de chez lui que pour aller travailler, il essaie tant bien que mal de se couper d'un monde bruyant à la joie agressive. Son supérieur, "Management", lui confie le projet secret "Zero Theorem" visant à déterminer si l'existence a un sens... Alors qu'il poursuit sa tâche, Qohen est perturbé dans sa solitude par deux personnages envoyés par Management : la mystérieuse Bainsley et Bob, le fils surdoué de Management.

Un genio del computer eccentrico e solitario, afflitto da angoscia esistenziale, lavora su un progetto misterioso volto a scoprire una volta per tutte lo scopo dell'esistenza o nell'eventualità la sua mancanza. Tuttavia è solo quando sperimenta la forza dell'amore e del desiderio che egli è in grado di capire la sua stessa ragione d'essere.

Qohen Leth, an eccentric programmer who refers to himself in the plural, is assigned to "crunch entities" for a company named Mancom. Finding himself suffering existential angst, Qohen constantly waits for a phone call, hoping that it might bring him happiness or the answers he seeks. When Qohen requests a "disability" evaluation, three company doctors determine that he is physically healthy, but require he have therapy from Dr Shrink-Read-only memory, an Artificial intelligence therapist designed to provide mental evaluation. Wanting to meet with "Management", Qohen attends a party held by his supervisor, Joby. Stumbling into an empty room, Qohen finds Management and requests to work from home, as he would be more productive and would no longer risk missing his call; Management simply notes he finds Qohen "quite insane," but later grants his request. Qohen is pressed into staying at the party by Joby, but chokes on an olive and is rescued by Bainsley, a partygoer.
