Warning: Spoilers
Some astronauts get some distress signal of what seems to be some kind of space station. Two astronauts Heinz Beckner and his partner Miguel Costrella led by Ivanov explore this station. The station is ran by the deranged Ai imprint of a lovelorn, jaded opera diva by the name of Eva Friedel who looks a very beautiful rich woman. This AI controls space station including its functions and its system such as it's life support system (to a more dramatic effect). It's VR holograms create some kind of illusion which looks like a rich mansion. Which are actually videos of Eva's life.

I will definitely say this short was definitely scary especially with all the creepy illusions of Eva and the massive plot twists behind her boyfriend murder. As well as emotional and heartbreaking what it looked like Heinz's daughter Emily died seeing that scene made me emotional.

It's visuals were excellent as well as its art style. The music added a very dramatic effect to the whole thing.

The English dub which came out last year by NYAV post was excellent including Marc Swint, Robbie Daymond, Frank Todaro, Laura Post, Michael Sinterniklaas, Derek Stephen Prince, Martha Harms, a child voice actress called Alexa Nicole Careccia and Kirk Thornton,

Overall this short gets a 8/10.
