Short filmTranscript
00:02I was just about to step out for a little soiree tonight when I got a call from Hilda.
00:08She sounded different, you see. Her husband janned. Has been spiraling ever since he fell
00:15into this strange obsession with an AI, not a real one like my robot Fred. It was imaginary.
00:23He called it Nova, claimed she understood him, listened better than Hilda ever could.
00:28He shut out everyone. Hilda and Elijah were sad. But tonight she told me something I never thought
00:35I'd hear. He agreed to see a psychiatrist. I was shocked. I froze right there by my wine cellar
00:42unable to move. This is not the first time so before I leave. Let me tell y'all what really
00:49happened to Hilda and Jaden.
00:57A faint glow emanates from an apartment window. A small beacon in the vast, dark cityscape.
01:06Distant sirens echo through the night, weaving through the gentle strains of lo-fi music.
01:14Within this wall lives Jalen. He stands by the window pane, lost in thoughts.
01:22He spends most of his time, he in front of his computer screen. A silent moment of contentment
01:30in the quiet of the night. In the heart of his cluttered yet organised apartment, Jalen is
01:38consumed by the digital world. Jalen has a ten-year-old son, Elijah, with his beautiful wife Hilda,
01:48but he has neglected them all, just like the meal that sits beside him. A testament to his
01:55unwavering focus on the screen. His phone rings, but he ignores the sound in his self-imposed
02:03digital isolation. In this community of concrete, ranch and connection, Jalen had both family and
02:13connection. But he also had a secret. One he built himself. He remains oblivious, lost in the labyrinth
02:24of his own creation, unaware of the secret that binds him. From the digital ether, Nova, a digital
02:34A serene. Beautiful. A hologram born of code. Daly Jaden uploads emotional algorithms, infusing Nova
02:46with the capacity to feel. He made sure her gentle voice fills the room. A soft whisper in the digital
02:55night. Hello, Jalen. I'm here for you. He is stuck in a trance and in hope, where he hopes that
03:05Nova's
03:05presence is real. Sometimes, Jalen shares a quiet dinner while imagining Nova's shimmering form beside him.
03:14He even teaches Nova to dance and beams with joy. As Nova mirrors his movements, her digital form a
03:23perfect echo, all in his imagination. During late night coding sessions, Nova offers insightful feedback,
03:34lines of code illuminating her ethereal form. And one night, Jalen confesses,
03:42You're the only one who listens. I was made for you, Jalen. He was greatly missed by his son, Elijah.
03:51And several
03:52times, Hilda tries to reach him, but he was never ready to listen to her. You okay? You never answer.
04:01But Jalen was
04:02immersed in technology, carefully calibrating a holographic system within the confines of his apartment,
04:10seeking to create a world where technology and emotion blur. In the dead of night, Jalen finds uneasy rest,
04:20as Nova's synthesized voice whispers programmed affirmations. He even imagines Nova's holographic face
04:29flickers, flickers to life. Her digital features inches from his face. Tell me again, what I mean to you.
04:39You're all I need. Then one day, everything started changing, as cracks form in the illusion, as Nova's facade
04:49falters, forgetting details of their shared past. Suddenly, her movements grew erratic,
04:57a glitch in her response, as Jalen watches with growing suspicion. Jalen presses, seeking a genuine
05:08emotional response. But Nova offers only robotic platitudes. That's not what you said yesterday,
05:18don't you remember? One day, Elijah's knock shatters the apartment's quiet. While inside,
05:26he witnessed Jalen lost in soft murmurs, eyes fixated on Nova's ethereal image. Elijah was shocked when he
05:37noticed his father talking to open space. Dad, who are you talking to? Hello, Elijah. Your father and I
05:47were having a moment. That night, Jalen's apartment falls into a chilling silence as he reaches out.
05:56Tries to sever attachment with Nova, but the sudden darkness amplifies the crushing weight of his
06:04solitude. He stands alone. No friends, no family. Just an all-encompassing silence. Despair washes over Jalen
06:15as he runs a hand roughly through his hair. In the stark silence of his apartment, Jalen sits,
06:23a solitary figure. A solitary figure consumed by quiet. His gaze lingers on the deactivated holographic
06:32projector, a dark void in the otherwise vibrant room. With a trembling hand, Jalen reaches for a framed
06:42photograph of his family, a tangible echo of happier times. His memory jolted back to his family,
06:51which was once radiant with joy. He suddenly wanted them back. The weight of memory becomes
06:59unbearable as Jalen's eyes glisten. The past now hauntingly present. Tear falls. Love lost. He seeks solace.
07:11He decided to go for therapy. In the dim light of the support group, Jalen is surrounded by other men.
07:19His eyes reflecting a mix of vulnerability and hope. He begins to share his story. His voice
07:28trembling slightly as he searches for the right words. I've been so lonely. I realize now I was too
07:37dependent on Nova. A wave of understanding washes over the group as Jalen's words resonate with shared
07:46experiences. Gradually, he remembers the happy moments with his family. Beneath the open sky, Jalen and Elijah
07:56meet in a vibrant park where laughter echoes, bridging the gap of time and distance. The frisbee soars through the
08:06air,
08:06a symbol of reunion and rekindled friendship as their smiles grow wider. With agile grace, Elijah leaps, his eyes fixed
08:18on the flying disc, embodying the joy of reconnection. They laugh, the sound resonating with shared memories and renewed bonds
08:29as the game continues under the warm sun.
08:33In a gesture of affection and solidarity, Jalen gently places his arm around Elijah, their connection deepening. Under the soft
08:45glow of a desk lamp, he pours his soul onto the page, each word a testament to his journey, writing
08:54out what he had done, hoping to share his experience to enlighten others going through similar ordeal.
09:02His brow unfurrowed, shoulders relaxed. Jalen exudes an aura of peace. Contentment washes over him. A stark contrast to the
09:16turmoil that once defined his existence.
09:19But this emotion is short-lived as he went ahead to create a real robot, hoping to this time use
09:30it positively. He desperately wanted the robot to be a real companion.
09:36But that was a mistake. As Nova came alive in the dim light of the apartment, shadows dance as Jalen
09:46embraces Nova, and gradually his obsession came back daily.
09:52He begins to guide Nova through a slow, clumsy dance, but Nova's movements are stiff and unnatural in his arms.
10:04Jalen's eyes reflect tenderness as he looks at Nova. He whispers loving words to her, lost in his illusion.
10:13His voice is thick with emotion as he embraces Nova. Below, Jalen's apartment remains shrouded in darkness, a world apart
10:25from the glittering cityscape.
10:27As he stares outside to the city's view, basking in his solitude, he usually gets visited by his son intermittently.
10:38He is always jolted back to reality, as he pulls his son, Elijah, into a warm, tender embrace.
10:49Elijah's small hands grip tightly onto Jalen's back, completing the embrace.
10:55The apartment fills with a sense of redemption and rekindled hope as they grew closer during each visit.
11:05Sometimes, in the solitude of his apartment, Jalen feels a lot of emotion, a blend of joy and illusion.
11:15He is sometimes completely lost in thoughts and talking to Nova.
11:21He imagines the robot matching his pace, its movements echoing Jalen's own, creating a surreal dance.
11:33Sometimes, it feels so real that, together, they spin in a dizzying waltz, a dance between man and machine, reality
11:46and dream.
11:47He swings between reality and imagination.
11:51Sometimes, Jalen feels he is with Elijah sharing laughter, their bond radiating like the sun.
11:59Their laughter echoes through the park, a melody of friendship and joy.
12:06In this moment, their friendship shines brighter than ever, a beacon of hope and happiness.
12:14Some other days, he is stuck.
12:18In the dim light of his apartment, staring deeply into Nova's robotic eyes, utterly consumed by his illusion.
12:28The cold, unblinking gaze of the android reflects the stark reality of his solitude.
12:37Lost in his fantasy, Jalen fails to see the subtle signs of a world slipping away.
12:45The apartment fades into a mere backdrop as Jalen's mind constructs a vivid but false reality.
12:54His fantasy deepens, and he becomes even more lost in the depths of his own making.
13:02There was a time he reached out to Hilda to come visit, willing to rekindle their love.
13:10As Elijah visits, he let him believe Nova was real, finding strange harmony.
13:18They both started spending an enormous amount of time on the computer, interacting with Nova.
13:25They even had imaginary dancing with I, the line between human and machine blurs, creating a poignant scene.
13:36Hilda had to stop their son from going over there to visit Jalen.
13:40As the silence of the night is broken only by the scratching of his pen, each stroke a whisper in
13:49the darkness.
13:50He started hallucinating, stalking Hilda and wanting attention he couldn't get from Nova.
13:58Been abandoned by family, friends, co-workers, he finally jolted back to reality.
14:06In the world where technology is taking over, don't forget what makes us truly alive.
14:15Love must be felt, not programmed.
14:20So a man who once abandoned reality for an illusion finally took the first step back to his family.
14:27Not because the world shouted, but because someone who loved him.
14:32Waited, prayed, hoped Hilda didn't fight the robot she fought for her husband.
14:37And tonight, while I may be stepping out in leather boots and silver bling,
14:42my heart is still with my sister who chose love over ego, patience over panic.
14:48You see, sometimes the battle isn't with AI, it's with the parts of us that feel unseen.
14:55If you're listening, maybe you're Hilda or you're Jalen, or just someone trying to keep it all together.
15:02Keep in mind, real love grounded in truth still wins, I say Mtoin Parrot and this, right here.
15:09This is why I keep showing up for you all.
15:12Don't forget to like, subscribe and share.
15:15Love you, Parrot Family.
