VITA NOVA
A NEW SCI-FI / DRAMA SHORT
In a lakeside villa forever tainted by historical legacy, Klaus is confronted by a guardian of moral judgment, who tests his conscience as memories of a political conspiracy and a fractured family bond resurface.
Visions emerge of a religious leader clashing with a charismatic robotics engineer promising digital resurrection, while a virtual avatar sells eternal life as progress. As faith, technology, and guilt weigh heavily on him, Klaus begins to question the very existence of a soul.
