In a bleak future, an old man living by candlelight breaks into a heavily guarded energy plant to steal a single power cell, the one thing that keeps his only companion running. Getting it out means getting past the plant’s security robot. A sci-fi action short from Blender Studio, written and directed by Hjalti Hjálmarsson.
