Dog lives in Manhattan and he’s tired of being alone. One day he decides to build himself a robot, a companion. Their friendship blossoms, until they become inseparable, to the rhythm of 80’s NYC. One summer night, Dog, with great sadness, is forced to abandon Robot at the beach. Will they ever meet again?
“In Robot Dreams, the bold clarity of the line drawings matches the clean simplicity of the plot – which, perhaps ironically, fires our imaginations even further.” – Bilge Ebiri, New York Magazine
“Spanish director Pablo Berger has made a movie that feels, in the best way, like the last day of summer: radiant, bittersweet, redolent of memories in the making.” – Stephanie Zacharek, TIME Magazine
