The final version is set in 2142 A.D., a century after humanity’s carelessness resulted in the collapse of Earth’s biosphere. The only survivors are a technological society in a magnificent enclosed scientifically-designed refuge city, Ecoban, and a small horde of refugees in the Wasteland just outside. The leaders of Ecoban have supported the refugees in return for their providing labor to mine the raw materials needed to keep Ecoban operational.
After a century, Ecoban’s leaders have degenerated into an indolent elite class who have reduced the “Diggers” to slavery, providing no more than the barest minimum to keep them alive. Meanwhile, the machinery sustaining Ecoban continues to pollute the world outside. The Diggers have finally grown angry enough to strike for better conditions. At the same time Ecoban’s machinery is breaking down and repairing it requires endangering the "Diggers" lives with more pollution.

Where it came from
Sky Blue, released in 2003 and also known as Wonderful Days, is a landmark achievement in South Korean animation. Produced with the intent to establish a high-quality domestic science fiction feature, the film was developed over a period of seven years by director Kim Moon-saeng. It is characterized by its ambitious hybrid aesthetic, which seamlessly integrates miniature models, 3D computer-generated imagery, and traditional cel-style character animation to depict a post-apocalyptic future where human emotions are harvested as a fuel source.
The film was widely noted for its visual sophistication and its stylistic departure from conventional anime, drawing instead on a cinematic language that felt closer to live-action sci-fi epics. Upon its release, it received significant critical praise for its artistic direction and world-building, particularly the intricate design of the city of Ecoban. While it served as a technical showcase for the maturity of the Korean animation industry, it also gained a cult following in the West due to its melancholic atmosphere and unique visual texture.
