A one-minute animation soft sci-fi film about
dream coming true on a distant planet.
LOGLINE
In a laboratory of the future, a young scientist and her robot assistant (AI) create a mammoth — taking the first step toward forming a new ecosystem on a distant planet.
SYNOPSIS
Soft science fiction focused on the characters, blending Christian philosophy (Vladimir Solovyov, “The Spiritual Foundations of Life”, 1884) with elements of solarpunk.
At its heart is the moment of creating the first animal as a new starting point in the evolution of a distant planet, when a human and an artificial intelligence together launch the ecosystem of the future.
The mission of the scientist and her AI assistant is not to recreate a lost world, but to reshape the planet’s nature from scratch—making it deeper, more complex, and more diverse.
It is a story of a dream and co-creation, told in three scenes, exploring the interplay of science, faith, ecology, and the future of humanity.
