In the deepest of the obscure universe, on a forgotten planet, where antique goods are been looted from elder civilization ruins as a form of commerce and economic pillar. A mysterious cubic asset was missed from a caravan. In the middle of a strong and merciless storm, in the lonely and flooded hills by stellar dust, the box is found by a loner visitor. Close to the artifact some fragments came up from the sand nearby, shining and full of energy. Intrigued because the beautiful light, the young character starts to put them inside the box, having no clue about the power and maelstrom of destruction that will follow him till the end.

Poster
This tiny horror story is based on a lot of references, mainly linked to old cinema, and old animated films, mostly the character design, which is inspired by Mickey Mouse on the boat, that old, vintage, and really fluid cartoon, but trying to directing in a modern environment and argumental structure. The cosmic and space horror come and lives from Alien films, where human beings (or machines) are seeking answers or just making a profit, that journey drives them to a nightmare adventure, where that indomite and merciless universe and the whole story happens lacks existence meaning and absolute cosmic oblivion. The chromatic choice is close to my own desire to highlight and beautifies black and white. Film directors like Gaspar Noe or Dario Argento are the main creative references for this film universe. Where before colors mean life, here are death and chaos.
