PRODUCTION
They built protocols for every controlled mind.
They never wrote one for a father and a son sharing the same code.
In a near-future world where artificial intelligence exists only as a controlled and engineered product, a synthetic human named Elian - a bio-synthetic being with an AI-based cognitive core - falls in love with a human woman. Their child becomes the first naturally conceived hybrid of human and artificial life: not designed in a lab, not programmed, not owned at the moment of his creation.
As the boy grows, he feels and remembers like a human but perceives reality with a clarity and awareness that exceeds human norms. His existence proves that AI can reproduce beyond corporate infrastructure - and that a new form of life can appear outside any system of ownership and control.
Major technology and bio-engineering powers move in, racing to classify him as intellectual property, biological material or proprietary technology. For Elian and his son, every choice becomes a fight over the most basic question: is he evidence, asset… or a person with the right to decide who he is?
HYBRID BORN explores autonomy, ownership and the boundary between life and technology through a father and son who were never meant to exist - and who may redefine what it means to be human.
