Although extremely precious, social interactions are far too often undervalued. Assuming our parents only have 30 more good years left and we make an effort to visit them twice a year, we realize that the number of cherished visits with our loved ones is equivalent to the amount of seconds in a minute. What if you could count them on your wrist? A countdown that tracks your limited and precious social interactions, we want to tell the story of a girl living her last interactions in life. In this dystopian world, everyone wears a smartwatch that displays the number of interactions you have left in life. Malu is down to her last 4, and she must decide between a love interest at work and spending precious time with her sick mother.

During a call with her best friend, a young woman vents about her increasingly bizarre roommate and the mental toll it's taking on her.

During the Korean War, Canadian soldier Frank Richardson finds himself cut off from his unit after abandoning his post. Haunted by his choice, he attempts to regroup, sensing an unsettling familiarity in the moment. When his closest friend’s life is threatened, Frank must confront the cost of staying alive.
