A surreal, philosophically dense noir-inflected meditation on logic versus emotion set in a dystopian computer-ruled city, where a detective must teach love to a woman raised by pure reason.

Lemmy Caution is on a mission to eliminate Professor Von Braun, the creator of a malevolent computer that rules the city of Alphaville. Befriended by the scientist’s daughter Natasha, Lemmy must unravel the mysteries of the strictly logical Alpha 60 and teach Natasha the meaning of the word “love.”
