In a 1980s New York City populated by animals, a solitary Dog builds himself a robot companion to fill the void of loneliness. Their friendship blossoms into a beautiful bond as they share joyous adventures across the vibrant cityscape, from subway rides to roller-skating escapades in Central Park. But things take an unexpected turn during a beach outing when a malfunction leaves Dog separated from his beloved Robot.

Spanish filmmaker Pablo Berger directs this enchanting, wordless Oscar-nominated animated masterpiece based on Sara Varon’s 2007 graphic novel. Don’t let the simplistic-yet-gorgeous 2D animation or the non-human characters put you off: it’s an achingly bittersweet story of love and loss that has been hailed as one of the best films in recent years. Children will be suitably entertained, but grown-ups will want to bring tissues.
