TOB.IA | Omeleto Sci-Fi
A couple gets a robot for psychological support after losing their only child.
TOB.IA is used with permission from Emanuele Sana. Learn more at emanuelesana.com.
Giorgio and Agatha have recently lost their only child. In the wake of their overwhelming grief, Giorgio contacts a foundation that offers psychological support in the form of Tob.ia, a highly advanced robot in the form of a child.
When Tobi.ia arrives at the couple's home, it exposes the growing rift between Giorgio and Agatha, who handle their grief very differently. Agata cannot accept Tob.ia, seeing the robot as an interloper. She slowly develops a kind of relationship with Tob.ia despite herself, though each step forward seems to remind her of her loss in increasingly destabilizing ways.
Written and directed by Emanuele Sana, this penetrating short sci-fi drama examines the unique journey of profound grief. Psychologist Elizabeth Kubler-Ross famously delineated five stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. Giorgio and Agata begin the film in two different places, and Agata in particular seems to be stuck somewhere around anger, cutting her off from the world and her husband.
When the support robot arrives, it sparks hostility from Agata. Tob.ia is a curious creation: its wide eyes are childlike, innocent and uncanny. It learns quickly but moves with a touching slowness. It learns to pick up its toys, but it has no emotional reactions to Agata, merely repeating her words back to her at times. It's not truly a child, and Agata berates it for trying to replace her son.
Trying to recreate a child is impossible, but that's not the point of the robot or the narrative at large. As Agata both embraces and pushes away her support robot, the story subtly explores emotionally sophisticated ideas through the questions that arise with artificial intelligence. What does it mean to love? What role can these machines play in our emotional lives?
Actor Rosa Diletta Rossi's performance as Agata beautifully brings to life many of these questions as she works through the devastation of her grief. And through the complicated dance of moving through her grief while accepting this new influence in her life, she discovers a new emotional frontier.
With graceful storytelling and elegant restraint, TOB.IA is a powerful embodiment of the idea that grief isn't just pain -- it's unexpressed love that has nowhere to go yet. By its end, with its final resonant shot, it is a moving testament to the human heart and its capacity to love deeply and expand. Tob.ia is not a substitute for a lost child and never will be, but it becomes a new home for a mother's unspent love.

THE MISINVENTIONS OF MILO WEATHERBY | Omeleto Sci-Fi
In the taxi, the mom suddenly realized a nice young man in the village which she can set up with her son. So she went back to the restaurant.
Yikes, this messed with my epilepsy a bit.
That is so weird , my ex - neighbor was named Rececca Black before her divorce . Sad .
You're still subject to the corporeal world... Let Jesus free you.
Ingenius storyline!
So Very Tired of "Girl Boss" flicks.....
when I came out my mom was against and my father supported me usually it is the opposite like in the movie my father was always okay my sexuality but my mom until today feels unconfortable
How do you ever get closure from that...One of the main reasons behind my concern about the insane rapid AI controlling everything day by day!
all this and they're rolling out A.I. 'assistants' at work....
"Britney Spears and Eminem" LOL 😂
Was that THE Rebecca Black (Friday?). Good short.
Stellar cinematography, good acting, plot and action. Amazing soundtrack. Another good watch from Omeleto!
Much better than having biological children. If all parents just got robots like that, the government wouldn't even need to censor the internet for all of us in order to protect them!
Perhaps you may want to adopt a human child.
you missed the whole point!
Not in English/ pass Subtitles r to small
I'm with you I hate when they don't do it in English. But it would be nice if they could or would give you the option in what language you needed in. ☹️
Analytics!
Bravo!
Omeleto, you are so da~n awesome.
Trste y bella historia
Si!
What happened to "last night" that they keep saying?
❤
It was 1998... Not 1952...
Makes me want more, very well done.
This was excellent! Congrats to all involved!
The "journalists" that drive the MSM are owned. They wouldn't give up their seat on the President's plane for the truth let alone their lives.
So sweet is forgiving love. Hollywood should be ashamed. No gems like this these days.
If only we all had loving mothers . . . Beautiful (and fun) cinema production and performances.
Make this woman president... now, not by the time this film becomes the present.
This film is the present. It was about Iran.
Omeleto never stops delivering great shorts. Again, astounding acting, cinematography ans soundtrack. New channel? 1st watch - SUBSCRIBED. Thank you Omeleto!
nonsense
Yes its sometimes difficult to make sense of stuff when you are suffering from chronic dumbness.
@@maverick.gauravhey now, go easy on him he might not understand your comment cause of his dumbness
@@Fredgert23😂
This can be the footage from the future.
Footage this intimate does not exist, but it is known for a fact that many many journalists have gone through torture and murder. Do people really have to see it? Isn't knowing enough?
So you have this outlook on every film ever? It's a story pal relaaaaaax😂
Do you believe all journalists?
I imagine we aren't all that far from that technology. Hell, might be here already...
Oh we have it. Even more sutil than that big fiber optics
@@FelipeKana1 what's fibre optics got to do with anything? it's simply a transmission system, it's the equipment it's connected to which you should worry about.
Dang, now that's a journalist.
How is this better than most full-length movies out there? Wow!!!
hey, my name is Luke Guidici. I'm the writer and director of SUNDOWN TRAIL. thanks for checking it out, and please hit me up if you have any questions!
Luke, congratulations on making a film with only white males. This seemingly minor fact makes you a huge exception in the world of short films. I don't know if you're aware of this, but thank you.
@@000aleph is this sarcasm
@@jones_y No. You might have noticed that (straight) white males have a pretty bad rep and are not only underrepresented in short films but often shown as abusers. That's a bad situation. We need lots more films showing the positive side of men.
Why didn't the father go with the boy to retrieve the antidote? Staying there doubles the time needed to inject it.
@@VideoFusco if the father had run with his son, his heart would have beat faster and the toxin would have metabolized faster--leading to his death. I suppose he could have slowly walked towards home--but then I'd have had to spend more screen time on his story, and I wanted to keep it as short as possible.
French Stewart is a surprising cameo! This story is very Black Mirror like, but not in a scary or dark way :D
Fun!
What does it say about the priorities of Americans when everyone will have a gun after the imagined apocalypse but vaccines will be in short supply? Ironic, not ironic.
is there a full movie this like an hour and a half long or something?
Hilarious I loved it❤😊
That was great!
I think that my morel mushroom hunting days are over now... ;-P
Great production. Well played by all. Thanks for putting this together and sharing it.
Wow, 💯 % amazing video . Hope you all have a wonderful, safe weekend ✨️
Liked this one !! Wish it was a full movie .
Hooked by the first dialogue. Good acting and great worldbuilding. A nice surprise.
Just watching !
First ?😮
Amazing you should write a book about it.
@@HelloThere-gs3ii🤣🤣🤣
"She should have just listened to the science! By not applying the happy patch she's putting both herself and those around her in danger. What if grandma dies because someday she can't control her feelings and didn't want experts changing her body to do it for her? Anti-patchers are literally killing people and spreading their ideas poses a threat to society."
