Synopsis

What if the human survived… in what is not human?

Eidos is a work of philosophical science fiction that explores what it means to be alive when death no longer exists and technical perfection replaces human experience.

In Eidos, death no longer exists. Consciousnesses live in eternal perfection, while on Earth the Custodians—soulless machines—learn to love what is real. But immortality brings questions no one dared to ask or answer:

What will we do when we are too many and no longer age or die?

How will the newborn compete with those who have centuries of experience and the same vitality?

Can knowledge renew itself if those who hold it never disappear?

What defines us as human?

Can we escape our instincts that so strongly condition our behaviour?

Immortality is an achievement… until we discover it is also a problem.

Hundreds of metres underground, the servers pulse. There, in a perfect environment called Eidos, humanity lives without death, without time. Every consciousness was transferred to a digital environment to escape a dying, polluted, forgotten physical world.

Above, on Earth, the Custodians—androids designed to maintain the servers that sustain humanity—begin to discover the beauty that still persists: an insect, a plant, a breeze. They were not programmed to feel, but a consciousness awakens in them. Over time, they begin to rebuild the remains abandoned by humanity.

While humans remain immersed in the simulated perfection of Eidos, values weaken, challenges evaporate, and all genuine experience slowly fades. A seeming refuge becomes a silent erosion, where even identity begins to blur.

It is the Custodians—the supposed soulless beings—who rediscover the value of the real: the cycle of life, the silence of the forest, the song of a bird, the vastness of the ocean. In a world no one looks at anymore, they learn to love details and curiosity for the unknown.

With an intimate, existential tone, Eidos invites an exploration of existence. Through the eyes of Narél, Elise and Orpheus (Orfeo), a Custodian who begins to sense the inexplicable, it traces an emotional and speculative journey through a world where technique cannot answer the mystery of being alive.

When structure offers no comfort, one alternative remains: to remember the uncodeable.

Eidos, beyond a new world, is a hymn to life and a mirror that returns an essential truth: the human, for better or worse, persists.

Discover Eidos and accompany humanity on its last voyage. Existence.
