My Robot Brother

In autopian high-tech future, the climate crisis has been solved, people live in harmony with nature, parents are only interested in their smartphones and all children have a robot as an assistant. Unfortunately, eleven-year-old Alberte is ashamed of her old-fashioned teddy bear robot Robbi. But then she is given a hyper-modern, ultra-lifelike replacement called Konrad for her birthday. Just like a real brother. This makes her incredibly popular at school. Alberte even starts to have feelings for Konrad. But is that right, being real friends with a robot?

Packaged in an exciting science-fiction style and presented with lots of humour, My Robot Brother (based on the book by Morten Dürr) tackles a lot of themes that appeal to children. From philosophical questions about being human, to technology, to universal themes such as the relationship between children and parents, loneliness, jealousy and friendship. Alberte finds out that you don’t need the latest gadgets to belong.
