A collection of narrative short films (in the Foreign Language Film genre) in contention for official selection, nomination as Quarterfinalist for both genre and technical categories.

In a dimly lit android laboratory, a researcher (Male) encounters an experimental subject (Female) who has awakened ahead of schedule. The man attempts to force her into sleep mode, labeling her awakening a system error, but the woman detects his physiological changes—his rising heart rate and trembling lips. She perceives that he is treating her as more than just a machine. The moment the word "Love" is spoken, their relationship spirals in an uncontrollable direction.
