ROBOT WILL PROTECT YOU

Estonia, 2018, 10’45’’

2062: Cyberspace offers total emotional satisfaction online. To maintain the population, the government encourages people to procreate by offering the incentive of a free robot to help with the children. One rainy night nine-year-old Tina and her guardian robot, SAM-53, set off on a quest that asks: if cyberspace has made romantic love obsolete, do we still need love in the real world?
