In a near future humanoid robots of substantial intelligence are a part of our everyday lives. Frank is a retired jewelry thief living at home. When he is getting older, he starts to forget things and seems to become more and more dependent on help. His children are convinced that Frank can not any longer master his live without technical help. They decide that he needs a home care robot, an idea Frank does not agree on at all. Still, the plan is realized and Frank's daily routine becomes an interesting mess.
