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.
Nils Skapāns (1969-2021) was a Latvian animation director, artist, and producer. After working with puppet animation in the 90s, Skapāns became known for experimenting with different materials: for example, he worked with wood figurines in his animation film for grown-ups, Brickannia, or with ceramics in Flap Your Wings! After that, he settled with plasticine animation in the later years. Since receiving the Berlin Film Festival's Crystal Bear for Let's Fly?!, Skapāns's films have frequently been shown at different film festivals. His last film, The Nap, has been nominated for the best animation film at the Latvian Film Awards Lielais Kristaps.
