Secrets of Kandahar - Broken Heart

The main character, portrayed by AI model Lenka Baier, travels to mystical Kandahar to end her heartbreak. Thanks to the conflict between humans and machines, she lost her love because she was in love with her robotic counterpart. Kandahar is known for its peacefulness, tolerance and mysticism, where all opposites come together in harmony. The people who live here in a high-tech-low-life style have a great fondness for music, building giant machines and mysterious contacts with alien civilization and fauna. Therefore, Lenka challenges a monstrous animal psychic to find out where the mighty transport cyber turtle is hiding, takes the last remnants of her lover’s personality on a disc, and sets off on a journey where she encounters many interesting phenomena when she arrives at her destination. Kandahar is completely open to her, and so she meets three sages with radio turbans while exploring the city, then also takes advantage of the affections of a local rich man to find a mysterious AI shrine where wishes come true. Lenka enters the shrine and plugs the remnants of her beloved’s consciousness into a mysterious computer, triggering the process of transformation into an android, where together their personalities merge into a single robotic body. Thus they will be together again and forever.

Director Biography - Petr Chroustovský

Petr Chroustovský, DiS. - graphic designer, game developer, director, digital creator, webmaster, 3D printer and last but not least, ISP network administrator of BEST-NET is a technoptimist who has long been involved in cybernetics, transhumanism and cyberpunk with a bizarre sense of humor. He comes from Jihlava and lives in Hradec Králové, where he has done a number of artistic and audiovisual projects (painting exhibitions, screening of the author's documentary film One Year Garden (2014), author of the adventure game Dark Disharmony, winner of the national photography competition Canon 2008, small literary and journalistic works) and is the creator and owner of the company d3arts.cz. Chroust, as he calls himself, is a prankster and "Army of one man" and his penchant for technology has naturally led him to artificial intelligence, which he also likes to dabble in. For example, you can meet his AI model Lenka Baier on social media. He studied mechatronics at the Secondary School of Industrial, Technical and Automotive Engineering in Jihlava and the Secondary and Higher School of Applied Cybernetics in Hradec Kralove in the field of Computer Art and Design.
