3	Thom was a young man who wanted to be an astronaut, or as he put it "awesome in space". Celia was his girlfriend, who just wanted to be a "roboticist" -- and for him to not be freaked out by her Cyborg Hand. This caused them to break up and go their separate ways -- but it still left Celia angry. And with her robots, in a few decades she was capable of taking her anger out on the world. Seeing as these {{Humongous Mecha}}s are just too tough to defeat, the only apparent means of defeating them is to override Celia's memory of the break up 40 years ago.

5	The fourth Blender Open Movie project, director Ian Hubert's ''Tears of Steel'' differs from the previous Creator/BlenderFoundation films in that it showcases Blender's motion capture abilities, meaning it is the first Blender film to feature live actors.

7	!!This short features examples of:
8	* ArmCannon: The engineers have pulse weapons attached to their wrist.
9	* ArtificialLimbs: Thom is freaked out by Celia's robotic hand.
10	* BigNo: The engineer with the broken glasses pulls one of these when the abort button fails.
11	* BlackDudeDiesFirst: Averted, the black guy is actually the last human shown as a post-credits bonus, and is very much alive.
12	* CyberPunk
13	* ExactlyExtyYearsAgo: It's been 40 years since Thom and Celia broke up.
14	* FreezeFrameBonus: 6 minutes into the film is a blackboard with all the different memories they've tried to impose on Celia. The board is full of short suggestions like "Interpretive Dance", "Chocolate", and "1. a rose - a. 2 roses - b. a dozen roses".
15	* GainaxEnding
16	* HumongousMecha: The mooks. Celia became one too.
17	* LoveMakesYouCrazy: It appears that Celia became the BigBad because Thom was "freaked out by her robotic hand".
18	* MoreDakka: The black guy has a really cool machine gun.
19	* OminousPipeOrgan: The scene is set in a building which seems to be an old abandoned church with a large organ glooming on the wall. It never makes any sound though.
20	* TimeSkip: The main part of the story happens 40 years after the beginning scene (which is "replayed" later).
21	* TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture: As usual for a CyberPunk setting.
22	* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Celia takes her anger at Thom out on the world.
