The Story

A sailing scientist’s strict ritual fractures when a chrome apparition and a radio’s cryptic orders push him across a vast, disjointed expanse toward fragile hope.


Synopsis

Under a gray, emptied sky, the sailboat Revolt Required drifts in slow breath. Its skipper, Ricki Constant, dresses in a black suit and repeats a relentless ritual: dragging a lung-like device across a vast, fractured expanse to inject the remains of tomorrow into the earth. His order collapses when Shiny Sister—a chrome apparition—flickers into view and a radio voice delivers cryptic commands. Purpose dissolves into hallucination as Ricki traverses landscapes that defy logic. Yielding to the irrational, he glimpses a fragile hope within luminous chaos.

Writer’s Note

“This film plays in the seam where the everyday frays and the subconscious leaks through—the space between attack and decay in sound: the surge of a note, then its fade. Ricki’s rise-and-fall echoes that envelope, resolving into a fragile cadence.” — Richie Fravel
