Mother takes her eight-year-old daughter Antonia to a children’s creativity camp. Antonia is unhappy about having to spend time in an enclosed area under close adult surveillance. On their way, she spots a sign saying “The Robots Have Escaped!” The sign unleashes Antonia’s imagination and grows into a fantasy of how exciting her camp stay might turn out to be. Of course, Antonia soon crosses paths with the robots, who intend to steal children’s dreams during their afternoon nap to convert them into bland commercials. Thriller-like events unfold. Thanks to Antonia’s inquisitive and rebellious nature and with her best friend and favourite toy, Yeti, by her side, the robots’ intentions are averted.
