Mixed Signals
10.23 minutes
A little robot comes to find out it's very different from all the other kids. It has trouble connecting with other children, is easily overstimulated and is often mistaken for a troublemaker by teachers. But by learning the truth about it's own nature and by harnessing the power of communication, it learns that just because it's different doesn't mean it can't live a happy life with meaningful relationships.
