Program Note

Set amidst the euphoric madness of a summer music festival, when a robot pop princess flees her keeper she runs straight into the arms of a lonely scarecrow desperate for adventure. They spend an incredible night together, caught in a heady vortex of music and magic.

Program Note

The atmosphere reaches its peak at a music festival. The most popular robot pop princess crosses paths with a scarecrow as she strolls around away from the eyes of the people, and they spend an unforgettably incredible night. With advanced special effects, this film starts with ambience of a science fiction movie, but it develops into a romance as the robot and the scarecrow develop feelings for each other. It is a surreal love story between the two and a feast of beautiful scenes capturing their love. (Gina KANG)
