86: Eighty Six (2021)

In the embattled Republic of San Magnolia, a long-standing conflict with the neighboring Giadian Empire has given rise to an era of supposed bloodless warfare. The creation of autonomous drones, Legion by the Empire and mirrored by the Republic, paints a picture of a struggle devoid of human casualty. Or so the government would have its citizens believe. Behind the fortified walls of the Republic's eighty-five territories, a harsh truth unfolds in the obscured Eighty-Sixth Sector. The young men and women dwelling in this forsaken land, known as the Eighty-Six, are stripped of their humanity and thrust into the throes of battle, piloting the so-called "unmanned" machines. On this grueling battlefield, the young leader Shinn directs his fellow Eighty-Sixers, their fates tied to the remote commands of their "handler", Lena. Stellar Year 2148 brings an eerie reality to District 86, as each successive leader is plagued with insanity. The latest headmaster, Major Vladilena, steps into this unnerving mystery with a steadfast resolve to uncover the truth lurking within District 86. This riveting tale weaves a story of resilience and sorrow, as Shinn and Lena navigate the unforgiving terrain of war. It invites the viewer into a world of secrets and sacrifice, where the line between man and machine blurs, and the echo of their struggle reverberates through the hollow promise of a bloodless war.
