DescriptionWhen the robot Roz opens her eyes for the first time, she finds herself stranded on a remote, untamed island. With no memory of how she arrived or why she was sent there, Roz must quickly learn to navigate this harsh and unfamiliar environment. Initial encounters with the natural world are challenging: she survives a fierce storm and narrowly escapes a vicious bear attack. Realising survival depends on adaptation, Roz begins to observe and learn from the island’s unwelcoming animal inhabitants.
Gradually, Roz's efforts to understand and fit into her new surroundings pay off. As she mimics the behaviours and routines of the animals, she slowly begins to earn their trust. Friendships form, and over time, the wild landscape starts to feel more like home. However, just as Roz begins to settle in, her mysterious past emerges, threatening her newfound harmony.
