In a future where advanced robots known as Mechas serve humans, a new type of childlike humanoid robot named David is created. David, programmed to form a strong emotional bond, is given to a couple whose real son Martin is in cryo-stasis due to an illness. Initially, David is met with mixed emotions, but over time, the mother, Monica, activates his imprinting protocol, causing David to love her unconditionally. However, when Martin unexpectedly recovers and returns home, sibling rivalry and unsettling incidents arise, leading to David being abandoned by Monica in a forest, leaving him lost and determined to become a real boy so he can return to his mother’s love.

Accompanied by his robotic teddy bear, Teddy, David embarks on a perilous quest to find the Blue Fairy, a character from the story of Pinocchio who he believes can turn him into a real boy. Along the way, he encounters other robots, including a pleasure-model Mecha named Gigolo Joe, and faces numerous challenges in a world that is increasingly hostile towards Mechas. He learns about human nature, loyalty, and love, all while clinging to his hopes and dreams despite the overwhelming odds. David’s journey is one of discovery, reflection, and the profound quest for identity and acceptance.
