A factory robot was designed for the single, mundane function of cutting logs into toothpicks. But when he breaks down, he’s thrown out in the trash where he’s found and repaired by an elderly gardener. Waking with no factory, no emotions, and no purpose, he doesn’t understand the new life he’s been thrown into. He isn’t programmed for humming or watering plants. And he certainly isn’t programmed to make friends with a little old lady with a big, gentle heart.
