His only ally is Ami, a fellow quantum AI voiced by Kruger, who becomes his lifeline as he struggles to find his way home.

It’s a rare combination of emotional intimacy and cinematic scale, brought to life by a world-class creative team.
“With Fernando’s distinctive vision and an extraordinarily talented cast, this project exemplifies the elevated, high-concept cinema we champion.”
Debut director Szurman added: “That excited me Love it was the opportunity to tell a deeply human story through a genre that allows for both scope and intimacy.
“I want to push the boundaries of science fiction storytelling, while still rooting it in emotional truth. We’re not just making a survival film; we’re inviting audiences on a deeply personal space odyssey.”
