Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Sam loves robots. He is certain they live in outer space among the stars. His family laughs at him, and no one seems to understand. No one except for Franky, that is.

A story of a friendship between a boy and his robot, Franky is a treat for robot lovers about opening your eyes to the unbelievable.

Translated from the Dutch.
