SYNOPSIS

A short film about a Filipino astronaut who has left her young son on Earth as she takes the precarious voyage towards a black hole to study it. Due to time dilation, her son ages through their video communications while she remains the same age.  As she nears her destination, her son is far older than she is.  Is there any way for her to get back to him while he remains alive?  The answer may be in the black hole.
