Robo-Kobo

[ Story ]

An experimental short filmed on a remote island. An old lady sings, beckoning from an island full of cats and elderly people that floats in blue monochrome light. A comfortable sensation like being at the bottom of a sea, capturing at a walking pace the sea shells that appear momentarily in the receding tide. The beautiful sea and a hint of breeze that strokes one's skin intermingle with music that blends in with the landscape, foreboding an unraveling of the times.
