In a futuristic America, over the course of 200 years, a unique robot becomes an artist, a historian, and an inventor. He starts to wear clothes and invents human-like organs for his body, but what he wants more than anything is to be legally recognized as a man. After an operation that makes him mortal, the world congress rules in his favor and the world president grants him the honor of humanity.

The family of an elderly woman with Alzheimer's hires a Medical Care Android to take care of the woman as she nears the end of her days. This Android isn't just any ordinary robot, though — it can impersonate the woman's family members so accurately that the woman is convinced that her family is always with her, doting on and caring for her.
