Val and Aqua are two household servant robots who start feeling emotions for each other. After falling in love, they decide to escape from their servitude and attempt to start a family of their own. Written by Jean-Marc Rocher <rocher@fiberbit.net>
I really wanted to like this movie, but the pacing was just way too slow.
It was a nice story, but it was really like watching a slug race.
The movie would have been better served, if it had some more action. I don't mean anything grand, but at least something in the background.
It could have also been helped by songs that set the tone/mood of the more lengthy periods that were absent of dialogue.
It's been about 10 years since I've seen it, so I may have to give it another chance.
3/10 or *1/2(out of four)
