Discover the original and uplifting sensation for fans of CONVENIENCE STORE WOMAN and KLARA AND THE SUN
From its perch on top of a pile of junk inside a shed, Coli, a robot with powerful observational qualities, waits patiently for someone to find it.
Coli is special among AI robots. This is because Coli has the capacity for emotion.
Today, Coli is feeling particularly in awe – of the sky in all its wondrous shades of blue.
Luckily for Coli, a young girl is about to pass by. She is obsessed with robots.
Together, they will save a life.
But first, they must make friends, put themselves at risk, and pull off the mother of all deceptions.
