Synopsis

In a pandemic-era hospital, a robotic vacuum, overwhelmed by its demanding job and lack of friends, decides to quit. Seeking a more meaningful existence, it ventures to a serene and quiet street in Chinatown. There, it encounters two solitary rabbits, each trapped in their own quotidian loops. As the vacuum befriends one of the rabbits, it finds a sense of community and begins to explore a broader purpose beyond its programmed tasks. A dance ensues and for a time, things are good. But all good things in life can’t last.
