Thats so weird, because it makes actually sense, after all the experience with the pandemic everywhere, so many on lockdown. I was born in 79, we don't have internet, smartphones or computer. we have to go outside, if we want to connect with others. Today everything is a bit different, i saw it with my kids, one is beginning of her twentys and the little one is 8 years old. my daughter used to play outside with her friends, my son did it too, but at the same time he is obsessed with technic and smartphone and the way we could connect with others through technic and internet. it's a whole different world.
I like this short movie, because i started thinking after, about the situation, about society, family and friends and loneliness. It's a great plot and the characters are well played, in this little story is so much more after the first view! Thank you so much for your work, it was amazing to watch!

I wasn't interested so much into the vivian story, but more to the background story told through the narratives and the untold, I do not know how the director, the actor or something else, the obnoxioussity (not a word) of the app to please the oppression of the outside, the nervousness of every one, they live on edge then the attack what happened to be worse than 9/11 that checked a society to the core, THAT IS THE STORY I WANT TO KNOW and I know it would be good because this because swipe up is perfect

I know enough about filmmaking to understand the effect of sometimes proceeding a scene-change with the sound from the next-scene BEFORE the visual segue to the scene itself. but, starting the shower-sound ( 5: 56) while she was STILL sitting in bed was a little weird, for a moment I thought that someone ELSE (Katrina) was in her bathroom and had turned on the shower.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who got that image strongly.
It definitely caused a moment of confusion.

This is what i want, the biggest human settlement on the planet for the present and future good. we can all talk to each other but according to the self created law but the point is who will create such law which will be beneficial for all the people. so the computer do the rest. AI will collect all like minded people and we live together though. that's the thought

As someone who constantly challenges the idea of dating apps such as Tinder, this film finds a really endearing way to use the concept. A light-hearted film like this is exactly what I want more of in the near-future dystopias. Love the horror and action, but every once in a while. you just gotta smile: )

It doesn't make much sense, it seems a Black mirror episode. Apart from that, first of all 4 years have passed, since the bomb went off, so why are people still forbidden to leave their home and walk in the streets The conclusion is also weird

A great example of how Sci-Fi doesn't have to be all dystopian and depressing, that even in the worst of circumstances, there are a few rays of light worth stepping into to know that you can still shine.

Stop pushing your alternative lifestyle. Not interested. More and more of these are becoming woke crap.
You realise that families are needed for a society. Where do you think the kids come from.

Regardless of the ending, sending someone you don't know a gift to their address without asking first really is a hugely creepy act and a sign that someone isn't going to respect your boundaries.

Wonderful, charming little story for a cyberpunk dystopia. :) I would haaaaaaaaaaaaaaate that holographic AI smartphone/social media system even more than the curfews though.

A Week With Rebecca is the BEST DUST video I've ever seen. It brought tears to my eyes at the end. Great romantic story.

if you're ever choking and alone, slam your diaphragm over the edge of a chair in an upward motion. That should work

I think this was more of a biography than a sci fi film. The comparison is too easy to make.

Honestly, she should never talk to her sister again. So many boundaries crossed.
