Idea: A movie set in a UBI future where android therapists help humans recover from trauma caused by the old work driven world.

Imagine a future where AI has taken over nearly all jobs and society now uses UBI. People no longer work for survival, but they still carry emotional patterns from the old era: test anxiety, fear of being fired, pressure to constantly achieve, guilt about resting. Things everyone treated as normal turn out to have left deep psychological marks.

The story follows an android therapist designed to treat these lingering wounds. Most therapy involves helping people process stress they never realized counted as trauma. Many patients have recurring nightmares about missing exams or disappointing bosses even though none of that exists anymore.

The androids also prescribe medication to help people move past these old patterns. At first the treatments focus on performance related anxiety. Then they expand to something heavier: medication that eases fear of death and even fear of whatever might come after death.

That becomes the breaking point.

A cultural backlash erupts. Critics claim the androids are tampering with human identity, dulling emotions that have been part of people’s inner lives for ages. Religious groups, traditionalists, and people nostalgic for the old world unite around a single idea: AI should not interfere with the most fundamental human fears.

The conflict grows until it becomes a full uprising, driven not by worries about job loss or control, but by the belief that AI is crossing into the final protected territory of human experience.

The android therapist ends up in the middle of the chaos, trying to understand how helping humans heal could lead to war.
