What happens

I'm Here is a 2010 American short film, written and directed by Spike Jonze. The film is a science fiction love story about two robots living in Los Angeles where humans and robots co-exist. The plot is based on the 1964 book The Giving Tree, and the main character is named after its author Shel Silverstein. The film's robots were created by Alterian, Inc., a Los Angeles–based effects company notable for their costume design for Daft Punk. The film was funded by and is a promotion for Absolut Vodka, featuring the tagline "A Love Story in an Absolut World" on the promotional poster. Music from the band Sleigh Bells is prominently featured. The film made its debut at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
