Tomei and Driver are in my opinion two underrated actresses. When I saw they lead this short, I had to watch it. And both give an excellence performance, as did the rest of the cast. Attention is put to the detail, making this a very atmospheric and believable short.
Pretty early on, this short did remind me a lot of the Flatliners movie. It kind of has the same characters in it. The combination of science and spirituality opens a lot of doors for great stories, as this short is also a good example for. It touches the ethical question what is acceptable to scientific progress. But it also shows that curiosity might kill the cat. You never know, until you open the box.
Tomei's last line is the perfect summary: "let's see what happens" Also as a scientist you have to face the consequences of your actions.
It was really enjoyable to watch this short, not just entertaining, but also a little thought-provoking. Not often these days you see something that is stylish, well acted, entertaining, and that also has some philosophical depth.
