🪐 You are entering a fictional zone: reality has been suspended.
In a futuristic world where robots are considered a threat and must be destroyed, Kira, a robot hunter, encounters an unusual robot that behaves not like a machine, but like a living being.

🎬 Director’s Statement:
We are used to separating the artificial, man-made world and the natural world as two separate worlds. But is this really the case?
To blur the line between the artificial and the real, we resorted to a combination of CGI and live action.
This is how the robot from the film came to be: it is covered in moss, its limbs have turned into trees, and flowers have bloomed from its metal body. Despite being a purely human creation, it has become an integral part of nature, from which we so carefully try to isolate ourselves.
