An Abused, Dishwashing Robot Dreams of an Escape

"Hum," above, is a science-fiction short from director Tom Teller and Frame 48. It follows a robot that works as a dishwasher in a restaurant, confined to a small, poorly lit room and abused by a cruel human boss. One day, an injured bird lands on the window sill and shows the robot that there's a whole world outside his cell. With help from the bird, the robot tries to break free.
