Egghead Republic

Professor Lev Shubnikov, creator of an intellect-cloning technology, discovers his digital double has begun living its own life within a virtual republic of scientists. While the original struggles to maintain control over his invention, the clone stages a coup, aiming to transplant the 'Egghead Republic' into the real world. This 2025 satirical comedy-drama explores the boundaries of authorship, the vanity of the academic elite, and the absurdity of technocratic utopias. The director blends sci-fi elements with dark humor, crafting a universe where genius becomes the most dangerous contagion. The conflict between creator and creation unfolds against a backdrop of corporate intrigue and philosophical debates on the nature of consciousness.
