Back in 2009, during a Cybernetics class at the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, we built a small robot out of Lego. We called it PEP-E. It wasn’t the fastest or the most advanced… but it was ours, and we grew fond of it. We barely passed the course — and laughed a lot along the way.

Years later, I decided to pay tribute to that memory. This is how this short animated sci-fi film was born: a post-apocalyptic story where that little robot awakens centuries later in a world without humans.

A poetic and visual journey, reimagining Gran Canaria as a land reclaimed by nature, echoes of the past… and a robot whose only purpose is to do good — even if no one is watching.
