Wilbert


Rosalie is a high flyer but an injured leg brings her down to earth – and face to face with her lonely domestic existence.  Fortunately she has Wilbert, a robotic manservant who can look after her and cater for her every whim.  Yet what Rosalie truly craves is company – can Wilbert provide that too? This pared-down and somewhat melancholic short film, directed by Ben Brand, asks some real if uncomfortable questions about our future relationship with technology.
