The Last Garden on Mars: Lonely Robot AI Short Film Prompt

Create a 30-second cinematic sci-fi short film in 16:9 with no dialogue. On a red desert planet, a weathered maintenance robot lives alone in a small cracked glass greenhouse dome and cares for the last living plant: a single sprout. Over many days it fails and tries again, until the plant blooms.

CHARACTER A (robot): boxy, knee-high, scuffed white panels patched with mismatched metal, rust streaks, one round blue lens eye that dims and brightens like an expression, two thin arms with simple grippers, tank treads, a tiny solar panel on its back.
SETTING: a geodesic glass dome about 4 metres wide with one cracked pane taped over, a single clay pot on a metal table, a dented watering can, a dusty shelf of empty pots; outside, a vast rust-red desert, distant mesas and a pale pink sky with two small moons. Same dome interior throughout.
CINEMATOGRAPHY: anamorphic widescreen, slow dolly moves, warm sunlight through dusty glass, floating dust motes, soft lens flares, muted red and teal palette, subtle film grain, realistic metal wear.

[00:00-00:05] ALONE — Extreme wide: the tiny glowing dome in the endless red desert at dawn. Push in through the glass to the robot rolling towards the table.
[00:05-00:10] ROUTINE — Close-ups: it lifts the dented can and pours exactly three drops of water onto a tiny sprout; its blue eye brightens.
[00:10-00:15] THE STORM — Days pass as light sweeps across: a dust storm batters the dome; the robot uses its own body to shield the cracked pane, sand hissing against it.
[00:15-00:20] DROOPING — After the storm, the sprout is bent and grey. The robot's eye dims; it sits beside the pot, motionless, as the sun sets.
[00:20-00:26] MORNING — First light hits the pot. The sprout has straightened; a single bud slowly opens into a small blue flower. The robot's eye flickers back to full brightness.
[00:26-00:30] TOGETHER — The robot gently turns the pot towards the sun and sits beside it; slow pull back through the glass to the dome glowing in the vast red landscape.

SOUND: wind and fine sand, soft servo whirs and treads, three water drops, the storm's roar, then a gentle piano and synth theme rising at the bloom.
RULES: no humans, no text or logos, consistent robot design and dome, realistic physics and textures.

Cinematic 16:9 sci-fi short, no dialogue, anamorphic. On a rust-red desert planet a knee-high boxy robot with scuffed patched white panels and one blue lens eye cares for the last sprout in a cracked glass dome, pouring three drops from a dented can each day. A dust storm hits; it shields the cracked pane with its body. Afterwards the sprout droops and its eye dims. Next morning the sprout stands tall and blooms into a small blue flower; the robot's eye glows and it turns the pot to the sun. Pull back to the glowing dome in the vast desert. Gentle piano at the bloom.

Gardener robot: Knee-high boxy maintenance robot, scuffed white panels patched with mismatched metal, rust streaks, one round blue lens eye, thin arms with simple grippers, tank treads, small solar panel on its back.
