A heart-swelling, hand-drawn delight that invites audiences of all ages to explore love and loss through its tender portrait of a new friendship. Part of the Official Selection of the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, Oscar-nominated Robot Dreams is the first animated film from Pablo Berger.DOG is lonely. He spends a lot of time by himself, whiling away long evenings in his Manhattan studio apartment, eating microwave meals for one in front of the TV. Tired of his solitary existence, he decides to purchase a friend. When his order arrives, he builds ROBOT, a fun-loving, happy-go-lucky companion to keep him company. DOG and ROBOT spend an idyllic day together – frolicking through the city to the joyful melody of Earth, Wind & Fire’s September – ending up at Coney Island to enjoy the fun. But they are soon separated on the beach. DOG, devastated at the loss of his friend, does everything in his power to get ROBOT back.
Set in the 1980s, vivified by a poppy soundtrack and a strong affinity for cinema history, Robot Dreams is a deeply felt, bittersweet buddy comedy that embraces ambiguity and the uncertainty of life’s path.
