Film Description:
In a desolate junkyard of discarded machines, a decommissioned family service robot named Echo reawakens with fragmented memories of the family she once loved. Guided by an older robot and a silent rescue dog, Echo must confront the reality of her abandonment and decide whether to erase her capacity for love, or hold onto it as proof that she was once more than a machine. ECHO is a 360° VR animated short exploring consciousness, identity, and what it means to belong in a world that has moved on.
