The story is set in a world parallel to ours, where humanity was wiped out by machines which were disclosed after an army against the scientist who created them. It is a story that in some way tries to recreate the Eastern Europe. The environment where the story unfolds is a post-apocalyptic environment, where the sets are composed by the complete destruction of the city, the days are dark and there is no vegetation.
The knowledge of the outside world begins when the 9 wins consciousness and waking up in the laboratory scientist is faced with a dilapidated room by bombing. 9 The scare when a stream of air and a chat window is approaching and opening the window faces the outside world completely destroyed and to see someone try to scream but could not, rushing down the stairs and will be behind the window and saw the faces with a doll like him, the 2, who helps to talk.

6 – Archetypes

Hero - is the 9th, first character in the movie which comes at a post-apocalyptic which as you know the world and its dangers is becoming bolder and with the friends you are doing over time is the winning ills.
Mentor - The Mentor is the main 5 that after having seen the 9 hurt was always with him and always supported him in everything. But it is not the only, 1 gave him to know all that happened until now, the 2 gave him the voice and 7 saved him when he struggled with the “Beast” and has always been next to 9 in all fighting.
Guardian of the Threshold - The threshold guardian in this movie is the “Beast” that machine to be awakened to watch the entire area around the factory.
Herald - The Herald in this movie are the same individuals who serve as Mentor, despite always being there and supporting the 9 question and also try to make it reflect what they want to do is right or wrong.

Chameleon - In this film the chameleon is not restricted to one character but an element of the film that is almost always present in every scene. This element is the Source, that evil seeks to keep you and the dolls look try to get it. At first the dolls think the source is just an object that serves to give life to evil and steal the souls of the weak, but in the end with the departure of 9th scientist’s house and discovers that the source not only serves to give life and take it to the more open but also to destroy evil and liberate the souls of the dead dolls and with it back to life to the world.
Pícaro - The only character to whom this archetype can be attributed to the 8, because although it is not comic or cause rised conveys a certain comic environment due to little smarter and think more with the muscles that the brain itself.
Shadow - Shadow is the Machine, because it is the true evil of historiography and the house was a machine that humanity has been decimated and it is against the 9 fight to stop evil in the world.
