Elena is a programmer and designer of a company that creates unusual toys - android robots. Improving from model to model, she eventually manages to create a robot that can easily cope with the Turing test and can communicate like a real person.

Analyzing the results of her work, Elena comes to a frightening question: what if people are also not intelligent, and only work out the algorithms embedded in their internal program day after day?
