, credited as “a film by” producer Cybill Lui Eppich, is a refreshingly offbeat series of faintly interlocking stories that hang together better than most omnibus-type constructs.
David is a lone maintenance man working on an orbiting satellite when some kind of electrical accident casts him adrift. Free-floating in space, he frantically communicates with his robotic-sounding HQ, seeking a rescue that doesn’t seem forthcoming. With a few days’ air supply, he eventually moves from terror to exhaustion to reflection, pondering what he’s made of his life — a life almost certainly about to end.
The stakes are higher between two young couples in love. Ben and Anna appear to be living an idyllic romance — or is someone simply scrolling through a computerized record of their time together? Eventually we glean that the obsessive scrutiny such technology might permit can destroy a relationship. Another kind of “progress” comes between Nina and Liam : She is mortal, while he is of a class that can afford to choose immortality.
Throughout these tales, we’ve noted glitches in the technological web humanity is overdependent on. That they are warning signs of a wholesale planetary catastrophe gets underlined in a brief final segment with Charlotte Le Bon and child actor Aleksandra Zagrodzka.
