In the cosmopolitan city “megalopolis”, Niko Rothko, a non fungible token (NFT) digital artist, gambles all of his, and his family’s, money in the Bitcoin rise and after months of seeing the money multiply, he loses it all when the bitcoin bubble crashes. Unable to secure a steady job and entangled in new friendships, his mom urges him to sees the family psychiatrist. He discovers that he was sexually abused as a child. He confronts his deepest fears to overcome his trauma only to discover that his quest was entirely planed by a superior intelligence (one of his loved ones) as a gift for personal growth. Megalopolis is a simulation and he is just a “Glitch” in it. Whose screen device was he trapped in?
