Hydrangea

As humanity comes to an end, leaving robots to follow their programming to eternity, one forestry robot experiences an emotional awakening and gains a new perspective on its world.

Written for research, this screenplay explores what it means to be human through a blending of Japanese and British storytelling techniques, developed during the 2015 Japanese Society for the Promotion of Science Summer Fellowship.
