Robot Dreams

No one wants to be alone in the world; especially not one handy-dandy Manhattan dog, so he builds himself a robot friend. The pooch and the robot become an inseparable duo and together, they enjoy a hot 80s summer with all the trimmings. However, their bond is broken by an unexpected accident, which forces the dog to leave the robot one day. Based on the graphic novel by Sara Varon, this animated film tells a touching story about loneliness, the power of friendship, and learning to move on in life – and to do so in the complete absence of words. Yet (or perhaps because of this) it is brimming with authentic emotions that most of us can relate to – not least because in recent years, we have all had to learn to approach interpersonal relationships quite differently than we used to.
