Ai City, the night of the clones. The 1986 Japanese animated film
Ai is a child apparently like all the others, but her abilities and the world in which she lives are not ordinary. The New York of the future is in fact dominated by the very high Fraud Tower, a disturbing and imposing monument at the same time, a symbol of modernity, but above all the safety of the city and the whole world is endangered by the presence of supernatural beings, equipped with a devastating mental force, capable of destroying matter and razing anything in their path.
Ai actually holds the greatest strength, and above all the ability to end the horror in the streets: this is why the hunt for the girl is merciless, and to protect her and preserve hope for the world, Kei, the result of an experiment who gave him an extraordinary mental strength, and Raiden, a private investigator of little skill, but with the guts and heart necessary to carry out the feat. By saving Ai, Kei and Raiden will unearth the secret that will explain what brought Earth to its current condition. ...
