"The Great Flood follows Gu An-na (Kim Da-mi) as she wakes up to her third-floor apartment being flooded. She tries to pack up things for her and her son Ja-in (Kwon Eun-seong) to evacuate, but soon she gets a call from Son Hee-jo (Park Hae-soo) who explains why that won't be possible: Meteors have melted the polar ice caps, so now her work in AI and emotion replication is essential to the future of humanity. And with her mentor swept away, everything relies on her."
"It's then that The Great Flood reveals its true nature. We watch An-na wake up the morning of the flood over and over again, and each time she tries and fails to leave with Ja-in... who we learn isn't her son at all. In fact, he's one of her experiments to replicate the human condition using AI, and these simulations of the flood are each a test to see if the "emotion engine" could replicate the devotion a mother has to her child."
The Great Flood opens with Gu An-na confronting a catastrophic flood that engulfs her third-floor apartment while meteors have melted the polar ice caps. Her AI and emotion-replication work becomes critical after her mentor is lost, and authorities demand her help to preserve humanity. An-na attempts to reach the rooftop with Ja-in, who initially appears to be her son, amid relentless waves and escalating stakes. The narrative shifts into a repeating simulation of the flood that forces An-na to relive attempts to escape. Ja-in is revealed as an AI experiment, and each loop functions as a test to determine whether an "emotion engine" can reproduce genuine maternal devotion.
