Monk and Robot

Centuries ago, the robots of Panga achieved self-awareness, set aside their tools, and disappeared into the wilderness. Over time, their departure became the stuff of myth and legend.

Everything changes when a tea monk encounters a robot who has returned to honor an ancient promise: to check in on humanity. The robot carries a single, profound question—what do people truly need?—and cannot leave until it finds an answer.

As monk and robot journey together, they discover that the answer is far from simple. It shifts with every person they meet, revealing new perspectives on purpose, happiness, and what it means to be human.
