About
In the futuristic landscape of Potsdam in 2050, where cold modernity collides with warm, nature-friendly treehouses, the University of Architecture pioneers innovation. Genetic tree modification produces towering structures, a harmonious blend of nature and design. Pete, the intrepid art student from the Oceanian Sector, embarks on a transformative exchange, navigating challenges and forging unexpected connections.
A malfunctioning elevator introduces Pete to an abandoned room where forgotten robots lie dormant. Among them, Kenny, a unique robot, becomes Pete’s ally. Defying anti-robot sentiments, Pete uncovers a mysterious link between his professor and Kenny, unlocking a hidden world of positive possibilities.
As Pete integrates with this futuristic society, his friendship with Kenny fosters a new understanding. Together, they unveil a technological utopia hidden within the abandoned room. Repaired and revitalized, the robots become companions, coexisting harmoniously with humans.
This tale of resilience and defiance against societal norms paves the way for a brighter, more inclusive future. The once-discarded technology becomes an integral part of daily life, contributing to the coexistence of humans and machines. Pete’s journey echoes with the harmony of progress, transforming a complex society into a futuristic haven of innovation and understanding.
