After Laura suffers a heart attack, her daughter, who lives in Italy, buys her a social robot and connects their distant homes via an intelligent communication system. Ogmios Z42 and the video cameras thus enter the life of this geographically dispersed family. The ethical and relational implications of technology gradually start to surface.

The performance is a telematic one, as it takes place simultaneously in Romania and Italy, with actors and audiences in both countries. The actors in the two spaces interact in real time via the Internet.

Based on interviews with Romanian migrants and left-behind elderly parents, the play explores the theme of migration. The research phase for designing the robot included creative workshops with adults and children in Romania, Spain, and Italy.
