A man on board a space craft has the ability to trace previous times on Earth, now a dead planet. He is disappointed along the way because it would seem, he can't quite make the connection. It's a sad commentary on where we may be going but it is quite striking in its special effects.

This is another visually striking space-themed sci-fi short where a bit more effort in explicit storytelling could have significantly improved the overall experience. The plot centers on a space archaeologist who can travel through time to capture images of Earth when it still harbored life. The story seems to rely heavily on emotional resonance-the man from a future where Earth is lifeless and desolate witnessing what his home once looked like: a vibrant blue planet teeming with life. It also highlights humanity's eternal dilemma-missing home when you're far away, and longing for the unknown when you're at home. I would have appreciated more dialogue-or perhaps a deeper monologue-instead of relying solely on imagery to tell the story and leaving so much up to interpretation.
