In the aftermath of an atomic war, robots have taken over much of the work that humans used to do. What will happen when a new generation of robots (created by robots) achieve the ability to reproduce? Odd but interesting low-budget sci-fi, really just a series of philosophical discussions about the evolving relationship between androids and humans in a society where humans are about to become irrelevant. Its key themes would resurface years later in the "Blade Runner" films. The actors who play the robots look like they're about to crack up.
