A computer virus endows
Solo (
Diego Abatantuono), the hero of a virtual reality game, with human consciousness, thereby creating all kinds of headaches for his creator
Jimi (
Christopher Lambert). The trouble begins in the futuristic metropolis of Northern Agglomerate three days before Christmas. With little time left, video-game designer
Jimi has no choice but to give his newest game, "Nirvana," to his powerful bosses. Unfortunately, the virus strikes just before the deadline. At first
Solo doesn't know he is a graphic image, but when he finds out, he fervently pleads with
Jimi to destroy every existent copy of the game so that he will not have to live the same sequence of events over and over for eternity.
Jimi, vulnerable after the mysterious and sudden disappearance of his lover
Lisa (
Emmanuelle Seigner), agrees to honor
Solo's wishes, but is unable to simply erase the program because his every move, on and off the job, is monitored by a giant,
Orwellian computer. He therefore takes off for the Arab quarter and enlists the aid of two hackers, Joystick (
Sergio Rubini), an expert at sabotaging databases, and
Naima (
Stefania Rocca), a woman with the skills to destroy the prototype of the computer game. With the company's henchmen hot on their heels, the threesome set off on a colorful journey through real and virtual worlds to destroy
Solo before it is too late.
