In a distant galaxy called Opelousa, on a planet of robots named Oronix, lives a curious and adventurous little robot named Ziki. For as long as Ziki could remember, he had been fascinated by the vibrant stories of Earth and its various fascinating traditions, one of them being Christmas, a concept quite alien to Ziki and his robo-friends.
As Oronix spins another time around its sun, marking the beginning of a new ‘robospin’ – their equivalent to an Earth year – Ziki decides to experience his first Christmas. He builds a spaceship, names it Polaris, and sails towards Earth, a journey he learned would take him till the 24th of December – Christmas Eve.
He crash-lands in the small town of Pineville, famous for its annual Christmas celebrations. The sight of twinkling lights, colorful decorations, and the magical atmosphere leaves Ziki awestruck. The town’s Mayor, Mr. Pumpernickel, finds Ziki and welcomes him with open arms, introducing him to the wonder of Christmas.
Ziki learns about the tale of Santa Claus and his reindeer, the significance of giving and sharing, and the joy of decorating a Christmas tree. Excited, he shares his own ‘robotic’ traditions from Oronix, impressing everyone in Pineville.
The festive preparations are in full swing, but a sudden blizzard threatens to cancel the much-awaited Christmas Eve celebrations. The heavy snowfall disrupts the electricity, leaving Pineville in darkness. As the children worry about Santa not finding his way, Ziki realizes it’s time to use his Oronix tech to save Christmas.
Ziki and a team of kids embark on a daring mission to illuminate the town’s giant Christmas tree as a beacon for Santa. They repurpose Ziki’s spaceship, Polaris, using its advanced technology and the energy of the Christmas spirit present in every Pineville citizen, to power up the Christmas tree, lighting up Pineville even brighter than before.
Upon seeing the brightly-lit tree from above, Santa navigates his way, and Christmas is saved! Ziki, hailed as a hero, truly understands and experiences the joy of giving and the real spirit of Christmas.
On Christmas Day, Ziki returns to Oronix with a heart full of memories and introduces his fellow robots to the wonderful Earth tradition of Christmas, making it an annual robo-celebration!
