Protesys

Protesys explores a near-future scenario in which a celebrated Paralympic athlete is recruited by a pioneering American startup to test a new generation of bionic prosthesis technology.

The film blends documentary realism and fictional narrative, tracing the athlete’s experience as he undergoes trials with cutting-edge prosthetics. As the experiment unfolds, Protesys invites questions about the limits and potential of human augmentation, the ethics of “super athlete” enhancement, and the human cost of pushing biology beyond its natural boundaries.
