Pablo Berger’s dialogue-free film Robot Dreams promises a sweet, heartfelt ride through loneliness and the giddy highs of a new friendship. Even if that friendship has been hand-built from out of a box.
Based on Sara Varon’s graphic novel, the animated film follows Dog, a New Yorker who orders a DIY BFF in Robot. As you can see from all the Central Park roller skating, subway turnstile jumping, and hotdog inhaling in the trailer, Manhattan’s quite the setting for this unlikely bond.
Robot Dreams premiered at Cannes Film Festival last year, then hit the Toronto International Film Festival. It hits cinemas May 31.
