Blue Button

In a near-future society where emotions are suppressed through mandatory daily injections, a young artist named Anya discovers a glitch in the system – a forgotten 'blue button' that allows her to feel. As she explores the spectrum of human emotion, she becomes a beacon of hope for others yearning for genuine connection, but attracts the attention of the authoritarian regime determined to maintain control.
