Give as a gift
Inspired by the profound loneliness many people feel, this is the tale of two misfits left behind by society. Unexpectedly, their paths cross, leading to an indelible friendship. This non-verbal story transcends cultural and language barriers, illustrating the universal importance of connection through their interactions.
The narrative highlights the beauty of diversity and inclusion as two distinctly different beings—a graceful swan and a rusty robot—form an unlikely bond. Both are outcasts in their own right: Sydney, the swan, cannot fly, and Socket, the robot, is deemed unproductive. They have been abandoned by their respective communities.
Believing themselves to be alone in the world, they discover an unexpected magic in finding and forming a new, beautiful community together. This human-centered story brings the characters to life with pixel magic and instills hope in those who feel the weight of solitude. This film was created with tools and content from Unreal Engine.
