It gave me goosebumps. It made me feel sad and somewhat hopless about our future. Yet I loved watching it.

I feel sad for those who couldn't find meaning in it.

From what I can gather, the piece is commenting on the human need to control everything in life, including life itself. We see an egg being fertilised in a cold, sterile environment, with everything very systematic and impersonal.

It seems to me to be anti-IVF, as the man and woman are sitting apart from one another, and its only once they're underwater (a scene I'm having a bit of trouble deconstructing - help?) that there's any affection between them. That's what I see in it, anyway. :]

Hi Sil i do music,mv as hobby and follow your work for sometime.Your VFX is superb,excellent,the only thing i like to see is more of exciting twist to it.

If so you can be the next Michael Bay.

Tender :)

this technique is no longer legal, cause the egg is unable to deny any entrance. sometimes the egg knows something we don't.

you have to introduce a bunch of selected seeds and let it choose.
