Will spends his days in a remote outpost watching the live Point of View (POV) on TV's of people going about their lives, until one subject perishes, leaving a vacancy for a new life on earth. Soon, several candidates, unborn souls, arrive at Will's to undergo tests determining their fitness, facing oblivion when they are deemed unsuitable. But Will soon faces his own existential challenge in the form of free-spirited Emma, a candidate who is not like the others, forcing him to turn within and reckon with his own tumultuous past. Fueled by unexpected power, he discovers a bold new path forward in his own life. A heartfelt and meditative vision of human souls in limbo, aching to be born against unimaginable odds, yet hindered by forces beyond their will.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Watch this one! submitted by brooksza on July 25, 2022, 3:50pm Winston Duke is so powerful. There's one shot of him sitting over Mike where he just towers over him like a goliath god.

This was like if Terrance Malik made a Black Mirror episode. Emotionally it's very moving. But I feel like the story was missing something to make it click.

For a movie about appreciating life's beauty, this one lives up to the visual bill. The score fits the emotional moments.

Worth seeing because I'm sure everyone will get something different out of this. Quite an achievement for a first-time director and writer.
