Bibo is a robot who sells ice cream. The world around him is destroyed. Just a few houses are left in the middle of the desert. Everybody loved Bibo in the past. Children, adults, everybody. He was a star! And now, the only thing that keeps Bibo going, is his job. This is the only thing that restores the memories from his past.

Everyday he comes to his workplace no matter what. And everyday, at the same time, 3 children run towards him to buy ice cream. Again and again. Until that one day, when a girl in a red dress freezes in the middle of the street.

She is a robot and so are two other kids. She is broken and for Bibo this is a shock: his everyday life, his imaginary world is ruined. So he decides to fix it. He takes the robot-girl to his workshop and repairs her mechanical heart.

After that he sits near the fire and remembers the good old times when the world was real, the children were real and his favorite girl in a red dress was real, too.
