SYNOPSIS
In the future, Captain Daria receives a message from an extraterrestrial civilization. An opportunity to discover a people and sumptuous landscapes.
Images and music were entirely created with artificial intelligence, only the script being "human". 
No 3D is involved, just AI.

This contemplative experimental short film makes us reflect on the credibility of visual performances and films with an artificial intelligence as the main creator.
Quite quickly, we feel something pre-fabricated by the voice timbre of the characters, the images as well as the original music.
But at the same time, there is an innovative and surprising aspect to the sight of this atmosphere.

The images mainly relating to dreamlike landscapes, as well as the design of the "creature" characters are somewhat reminiscent of the universe of James Cameron's Avatar, especially in the treatment of colors.

Thus, the film prompts us to wonder if the artistic future is not in the hands of robots in order to compete with human beings.
The final rendering of the film could be similar to a video game cinematic: a visual art that has developed over the years and which now stands up to cinema.

In the end, the film is a short experience that any good cinephile or art lover must watch. Could this be a glimpse of what cinema has in store for us and how it will evolve over the next ten years?
