"Do you remember how wonderful films were before the rise of AI?" Playing with that provocative idea, a 24-year-old filmmaker draws on every cinematic tool at his disposal - from the most resolutely analogue to artificial intelligence itself - to celebrate humanity's inexhaustible urge to create, whatever the circumstances.

Synopsis

2093. An aspiring filmmaker is making a documentary about the Great War of the 2070s, a conflict that erased modern technology and brought the ancient kingdoms back to life. Along the way, he meets Mumbi, who challenges him to make his film without AI. As he searches for his own artistic voice, he gradually discovers that even in a shattered world, beauty still resides in the small, deeply human moments we so often overlook.
