Plot

Mr. Hublot is a man who lives in a tiny apartment crowded futuristic city. He wears several layers of eye wear and had a row of numbers on his head which seem to be tracking something. Mr. Hublot also displays several OCD symptoms, turning the lights on and off several times before going to bed, and spending a long time straightening the pictures on his wall

Mr. Hublot sees a tiny puppy-like robot shivering in a box. When the box is taken away for garbage disposal, Mr. Hublot takes the robot to his house.

The robot gets bigger and bigger and is soon much bigger than Mr. Hublot. After the creature causes extensive damage to the apartment, Mr. Hublot appears to attack the creature with a screw driver.

After some time has passed, Mr. Hublot is shown in his house, with everything returned to normal. However it is revealed the creature (who is now huge) is still with him, but that Mr. Hublot moved from his tiny apartment to the warehouse next door. They both seem happy, though Mr. Hublot is shown turning the lights on and off from the warehouse several times before going to sleep.
