Frankfurt
2088

A cyber-noir short-film world set in a future where memories have become a form of currency.

01 / Overview

A future Frankfurt
built around memory and control.

Frankfurt 2088 moves between stormy ghettos and sterile financial towers. At its center is Elara, a broker in the Memory Market, where personal experience has become something that can be traded.

The project explores the tension between technological security and human cost, using the city itself as part of the story rather than only as a backdrop.
