Plot

Traveling across a barren landscape, Lernert (Joseph Cross) digs through piles of rubbish in an attempt to build a body for his companion Susan (voiced by Jillian Mayer), the unresponsive robot head who hangs from the back of his pack. The pair comes across Rola (Julia Garner), a spirited young woman who lacks survival skills but makes up for the deficiency with sheer determination. This unlikely trio navigates the harsh desert in search of a mythical water basin that could replenish their depleted resources and renew their will to carry on.
