The music video is strangely feel-good and uplifting despite the dark topic it deals with. A man after finding earth unliveable for his beloved and their unborn child, sets out on a space adventure to find a habitable planet. Whether or not his quest is successful, the journey of colourful images in itself turns out to be an interesting one to go on with the protagonist. The hopeful vocals become a gentle reminder of how art can indeed save the day no matter how bleak and dark things seem in the world. If not, there is always the option of hitting replay and starting all over again until you find your perfect refuge.

The narrative draws you in at an unexpectedly swift pace, and before you realise it, you're in it beyond the point of no return. Don't you look away now, or you might just lose it all. With clear inspirations from dystopic, sci-fi narratives of the likes of Black Mirror, the film takes you on an interesting, experimental journey. The camerawork deserves a mention. Make sure you don't miss the pretty shots as you get entwined deeper into the bewildering lives of the characters.

Goldspot | Short Film Nominee

The film aims an interaction with addiction to technology, a concern especially relevant in contemporary times where we become more and more inseparable with our smartphones every day. It achieves the same by taking the viewer into the life of a character who finds himself spending all his waking hours playing a violent game on his phone. However, soon the images begin to spill over into his day-to-day life as well, making regular experiences like sleeping an insurmountable task. Using a non-linear narrative, this is contrasted against the significance of outdoors, the same ones which had earlier been overlooked and ignored by the protagonist. As he attempts to find the lost calm of his life, will he succeed in attaining it?
