Tomorrow at 11 AM

Tomorrow at 11 AM (Rytoj, 11 val. ryto, 1985) is a ten-minute Lithuanian animated short you can watch online on iFILM — small in length, sharp in idea.

Its hero is a romantic robot, a machine that fell in love with art. Hostile aliens can't stand that, and their revenge is cruel: the gentle, beauty-loving robot is turned into a builder of brand-new weapons. A miniature fable about how easily someone else's will can reforge a dreamer into a tool.

Director Nijolė Valadkevičiūtė packs more thought into ten minutes than many features manage in two hours. Stream Tomorrow at 11 AM online on iFILM.
