"9" is an animated post-apocalyptic fantasy film directed by Shane Acker. The story is set in a world where machines have turned against their creators, destroying civilization. In a chaotic and desolate world, a group of peculiar creatures called "stitchpunks" emerges. Each one of them is a unique and individually crafted creation that embodies a fragment of the soul given to them by their creator.
The main character in the film is "9", a small and courageous stitchpunk who awakens in a desolate world without any memories of his past. After discovering a small community of his own kind, 9 realizes that they are being hunted by a mysterious creature known as the "Cat Beast." Through their experiences, 9 and his newfound friends begin to understand the cause of their world's destruction and how they can stop it from happening again.
As the story progresses, 9 encounters a father who is determined to protect his son from the dangers of this world.

The film is a visually stunning and emotionally charged story about the struggle to survive in a world torn apart by war and the power of love and sacrifice to overcome even the most daunting of obstacles.
