Synopsis: It’s the year 2062, and in futuristic Neo Berlin, cyberspace has made romantic love obsolete. Complete emotional satisfaction can now be achieved online, but to ensure that people continue to procreate, free robots are offered to all parents to help with childcare. One rainy night, nine-year-old Tina and her guardian robot, SAM-53, set off on a quest that asks whether love is still necessary in the real world. Robot Will Protect You is a short sci-fi animation about a little girl’s search for meaning in a world without emotions.
