Beyond Farewell

Directed by Jackie Shijie Xing

AI engineer Sam grieves her late girlfriend Joy by working nonstop. Experiencing paranormal activities, Sam finishes her AR goggles as guided by a mysterious line of code. To her gleeful surprise, Sam sees Joy through the goggles. Reunited, the couple goes on an adventure to check off everything on their bucket list. As the morning light caresses her face, Joy glitches and fades. Against the rising sun, the couple kisses one last time, reminiscing the fleeting eternity. Opening her eyes on the grass, Sam finds herself alone again, unsure if the memories were real.
