Director Statement

Milvio questions the integration of technology in schools through a child's perspective. As his attendance to the classes is depended on the robot, Milvio gets instant access to internet in a way the no other student does. The film also explores themes such as the basic human need to connect with people in the flesh, and how we're slowly giving that away while including technology in most part of our lives.
