What Is The Story?
As a HelperBot, Oliver has reached the end of his service and is content to enjoy his retirement in his Seoul apartment, listening to jazz and watering his plants. But when his neighbor Claire knocks on his door seeking a charger, it looks like these two androids do dream of something...love! Follow Oliver and Claire as they head out on an adventure like no other. A balm to those worried by the AI takeover, Maybe Happy Ending is a sweet look at the inner lives of robots, and just what they can experience.
