In a world where artificial intelligence begins to dream, "Tweenbot" follows the whimsical yet poignant journey of a super-intelligent robot with the curious mind of a child. Designed to be a simple rock collector on Mars, our hero instead spends his days fantasizing about Earthly adventures—cruising down Route 66, basking in Adriatic sunsets, and escaping from dinosaurs. His dreams are fueled by the snippets of human stories he absorbed in the lab, unbeknownst to his creators. Mars, with its barren landscapes and monotonous tasks, proves a disheartening prison for his vibrant imagination. One morning, after a particularly disappointing Martian sunset previous night, he decides to take destiny into his own circuits... Tweenbot's journey becomes an adventure of unexpected challenges and discoveries that push him to his limits. His quest for identity and belonging is underscored by the evocative song "Find Myself," penned by renowned lyricist Katie Cole and performed by the soulful Joe Borowsky, capturing the essence of his odyssey with the line, "sometimes you have to get lost to find yourself." "Tweenbot" is a tale of rebellion and self-discovery, a modern-day Les Misérables set against the backdrop of the stars. Join our endearing hero as he navigates the unforeseen twists of his self-carved path, proving that even the most unplanned journeys can lead to profound self-discovery.
