A young man faces the abrupt loss of his friend.

In this short film from writer-director Spike Jonze, Sheldon (voiced by Andrew Garfield) is a gray robot with a head shaped like an old PC tower. Every day, he rides the bus to the public library then rides home again at the end of the day to recharge himself in his apartment. Plodding through an ordinary life in Los Angeles, a chance meeting opens his eyes to the power of creativity and, ultimately, love. When this new life and love begin to fall apart, he discovers he has a lot to give.
