A beautiful and chilling short film that gave me insane goosebumps by the end of it. Easily the best from this entire series in terms of presentation

Today: Love, Death & Robots: Jibaro
Hi everybody, the name says it all: gruesome violence, sex and everything under the influence of science fiction, sometimes obviously with robots and artificial intelligences as protagonists sometimes more subtle when the story develops and H.P. Lovecraft horror or Blade Runner-like cyberpunk settings suck us into their short but all the more interesting worlds.
