Title:Desert Blue
A man and a young robot walk through a post-apocalyptic desert in search of an “oasis” depicted on a postcard. They arrive at their location to find that the destination they have been seeking is actually a painting in an abandoned home.
In the quest for artificial intelligence, where is the place for human values? In this short film, a human-like, human-level intelligent robot paves the way for us through sacrifice and reminds us of not losing sight of the qualities that make us human.
