An epic tale about the connection between technology and the natural world.
Following a shipwreck, the Rozzum 7134 unit, nicknamed ‘Roz’, finds itself on a remote island inhabited solely by wild animals and devoid of human presence. To survive in this hostile environment, the robot must learn to adapt, studying the behaviour of the local wildlife and transcending its own logical programming. Its life takes an unexpected turn when it becomes the protector and adoptive parent of a small orphaned gosling, a bond that defies every law of nature and technology. Roz thus discovers the meaning of friendship and love, transforming from a cold machine into a vital element for the balance of the entire island community. When her technological past comes knocking to take her back, Roz must fight to defend her new home and her newly found identity.
The film is part of a programme that explores the primordial bond between human beings and the ecosystem, portraying nature not as something to be observed, but as something to be embraced. Four films chart a path towards reconciliation through the eyes of the “Other”.
Under the patronage of the Municipality of L’Aquila and with the support of ALES. In collaboration with the L’Aquila Film Festival.
