After his ship crashes, Mahlon, a disorientated explorer, struggles to open the doors of his ship to get out. He falls into the sand, gasping for breath.
Panicking, he reattaches his cable, allowing him to take a deep breath.
As he tries to work out where he is, sitting in the sand not far from his base, he hears a strange sound coming from far away.
He inspects the surrounding area, encounters unexplained shapes and ends up liquefying, writhing in pain.
As he screams, his surroundings change into a huge red storm in which he seems to be caught.
He sees his ship slowly sinking into a huge rift, so he runs with all his might to try and catch up but ends up being dragged along by his cable and follows his ship’s fall.
He fell into a cellar with a green atmosphere that was not serious.
Dazed, Mahlon floated gently amid the organic structures.
Little by little, he slowly sinks with his ship at the end of his cable.
Then the sound of his ship landing on a strange platform wakes him up.
He pulls himself towards his vehicle using his cable. Just as he reaches it, a large white liquid catches the vessel.
Mahlon leaked as the fluid climbed up the cable. The cable eventually breaks, and the explorer falls onto the ice.
He screams, cries and cowers.
A white female figure floats towards him and he gets up to follow her. He decides to let go of the rest of the cable still attached and watches the white figure plunge into the water.
He decides to follow her into the depths. He swims towards her and holds out his hand.
In the liquid darkness, Mahlon is carried further and further away, his strength gradually failing him.
But the luminous silhouette continues to draw him in, guiding his movements like a promise of deliverance.
The walls around him light up with organic patterns, as if the planet itself were breathing.
Time seems suspended, and every gesture becomes both a struggle to survive and a surrender to the unknown.
At the end of this journey, Mahlon realises that he is no longer running away: he is finally accepting to let himself be carried towards a destiny that is beyond him.
