Synopsis

"Dear, All Robots'' is a 2D and 3D animated short film that tells a story about rediscovering passion and the self. The protagonist is an office worker who lives a repetitive and monotonous life every day, gradually forgetting his childhood love for photography. One day, he meets a colorful cat, which brings color and vitality into his life and reawakens his creativity and passion. Through his interactions with the cat, he rediscovers his childhood dream and happiness, and once again feels the warmth and freedom of life.

Through the contrast between black-and-white and vivid colors, as well as the combination of 2D and 3D, the work presents the protagonist’s process of moving from numbness to self-rebirth. The work also echoes the spirit of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially SDG 3, “Good Health and Well-being,” and SDG 8, “Decent Work and Economic Growth.” It reflects on the impact of the working environment on people’s physical and mental states, and encourages audiences to rethink the relationship between work and dreams: while pursuing efficiency and economic growth, can people still preserve their dignity, creativity, and passion for life?
