The Nap

Pietų miegas

On Antonia’s way to a camp, alarming news is spread that two robots have taken a human-looking appearance and escaped from an artificial intelligence lab. Of course, Antonia’s and the robots’ paths intersect at the camp, where they intend to steal children’s dreams during an afternoon nap. Thanks to the rebellious nature of Antonia and her best friend Yeti, the rude robots’ intention is averted. It’s a story where a real journey meets with fantasy and true values will be digested for youths and adults.
