Laverna and Janus use brain-to-brain interfacing technology to merge their minds into a singular consciousness. But as their memories meld, what happens to their individual identities?
Director's Statement
Rooted in hard science fiction and philosophical/psychological intrigue, the film delves into the consequences of technological advancements on personal identity. As technologies like neuralink become more advanced, the prospect of linking minds is becoming more and more plausible. What will such technology reveal about who we are?
