A lost memory,
I think therefore I am, right?
Replicant? Or not?
Blade Runner: 2049 is set 30 years into the future. K is a replicant who works for the Los Angeles Police Department and ‘retires’ rogue replicants. His work takes him to a protein farm, where he finds the remains of a female replicant buried under a tree. Things get interesting when her skeletal remains show signs of a caesarean. The Wallace Corporation – the leading manufacturer of replicants are desperate to understand if replicant reproduction is possible and K is against the clock to find the child before Wallace Corporation.
