This moving, charming film based on a graphic novel about a dog and a robot shows us in poignant detail how powerful and fragile relationships can at times be.

Dog lives in Manhattan and he's tired of being alone. One day he decides to build himself a companion robot. Set to the rhythm of 80’s NYC, their friendship blossoms, until they become inseparable. 

After a Labor Day jaunt to the beach leaves the robot rusted and immobilized in the sand, the dog must return alone to the life they once shared. But the memory of their friendship lingers, and as the seasons pass, the dog tries to fill the emotional void left by the loss of his closest friend.. Will they ever meet again?
