My Only Friend Is a Robot Named Beans

In an isolated future, Ruby, newly 25 and deeply lacking a social life, finds her carefully constructed routines disrupted by an unlikely new friend: a mail-order robot. As the two form an unexpected bond, Ruby is forced to confront her fear of vulnerability, the quiet ache of loneliness, and the anxious inner voice that insists connection is something that only other people get to have. Through this strange but tender friendship, she begins to discover the power of opening up in a world that makes isolation feel inevitable.

Robot & Frank

Curmudgeonly old Frank lives by himself. His routine involves daily visits to his local library, where he has a twinkle in his eye for the librarian. His grown children are concerned about their father’s well-being and buy him a caretaker robot. Initially resistant to the idea, Frank soon appreciates the benefits of robotic support – like nutritious meals and a clean house – and eventually begins to treat his robot like a true companion. With his robot’s assistance, Frank’s passion for his old, unlawful profession is reignited, for better or worse.
