Seeing this and the film "Rewirement" back to back has certainly put this sixty-three-year-old man in a somber mood for the time being. More years behind me than ahead I suppose. Fortunately, a birthday for an eight-year-old and seeing all of my grandchildren this afternoon will break the spell and a greater appreciation for those moments as well.

[@woodstoney]

So very sad, to cheat death by stretching time yet missing out on life's best moments. Nicely done video!

[@redlady120]

It made me cry. A reminder that life is so short, that to cheat death or our time means we miss out on a lot of things just to be able to live longer. No matter the excuse, it is never living when we try to cheat whatever time was given to us. Live life to the fullest without regrets. Live it with love and with the people you love. It is the best way to spend the time given to you.

[@DarionDAnjou]

that's your opinion. i think she got the better deal. alternative: she's dead and gone and sees none of it.

[@DrRonArt]

Sad indeed.

[@ScottNormanRosenthal]

At what point did the father pass away, or leave the story? I didn't catch it.

@@ScottNormanRosenthal he stopped wanting to see his wife at the age she went away. Selfish and very understandable. I think it was the visit they went dancing.

That was really well made and deep. Jeez i Need to recover from this one.

[@robertjones7231]

I loved it! One of the best films I've seen that explores the ramifications of space travel and it's impact on time. Since this was a longer "short" it allowed a more complete story. One of DUST's best!!

[@carolanestanley4030]

I agree! 👍❤

[@adriamontano922]

My god... I was brought to tears. Wishing I could see my mom again. Wow... powerful!!!!

[@scottcupp8129]

I know what you mean and I know how you feel. I lost my parents in 93. They both went in a car accident together. Very recently here, I lost my only daughter. My only child. She was only 23.

[@kevinpaul5193]

[@y2ksw1]

An aspect I haven't thought about ... staying younger than the proper kids, see them die. The dark side of remaining young.

[@chyvaelry]

The Feels! Thanks, I've got tears in my eyes and a lump in my throat now. Nicely done, well written, and well filmed.

[@slimdudeDJC]

This was not the mom's fault. That was one painfully tough call, one where I couldn't condemn her (or wouldn't want to) either way. She had a condition which forced her to choose between a very short life of her own or a very short one with her family, mainly her daughter. I was truly moved by this one, and I won't go into detail. 😥 This was award worthy in my humblest opinion.

[@hhh123837]

It does make me wonder which would be more devastating to the daughter....Having the mother gone at 5 years old and having barely known the mother at all or seeing her basically once a decade and enjoying the little bit of time with her and then having to watch her go away over and over again. Awesome film!! 👍👍👍

[@woodie62]

I would say the latter is much worse, the way it was in the short. As much as I would hate to lose either parent, it'd be much "better" to have lost altogether even after a short time with them rather than an intermittent, yet ongoing loss of them. You can at least learn to live without someone who dropped out of your life. But if they keep reappearing through long spaces, it wears on your psychology and just becomes unbearable.

[@scottconwell2146]

All I can say is, beautiful & poignant! The story of lives told, elegantly, & painfully, all in 25 minutes! Very well done!

[@karensauve3791]

I should be sleeping but instead I'm up crying. This short was so well done. I fell all their pain of loss. Loss of time, so very sad yet beautiful.

[@alexcastro7339]

A mirror with memory. Now that's a damn good idea.

[@adzdahlman9724]

hey. Ha ha. I invented one couple years back. they're pretty expensive. massive digi screen - any old 6 pix camara - it's a nightmare mate, or they'd be everywhere.

[@maje0001]

Wow... that was beautiful and heartbreaking...

[@johna5599]

I say that would be so amazing to have those moments but wouldn’t see my child grow so old.

[@Testsubject276]

Your time is finite, for those you love, it's worth stretching it out as far as possible. Spend yours wisely. Which begs the question... How much time do *you* have left?

[@davidtal523]

for me personally: too much.

[@edbailey7533]

Now that's what I'm talkin' about! What a beautifully done film--bravo!

[@mcullet2]

WOW!! What a creative, original way to explore connectedness, time and the unique bonds of love. For boring reasons I'm able to recall life when I was old enough to put my bottle away for the final time. And I remember having german measles as well as my cot. I can recall almost everything from the scratchy face and worn hands of my father and the soft warmth of my mother's hands as she made a point of naming everything. These are precious everyday bittersweet things that parents do for their kids to become independent. In time I understood that my laser recall was uncommon. This ability is a gift that I took for granted until people died. Love, I believe, can be a map and a vehicle with which we move through life. It's tangible just like my hand. When your own children arrive, it's an epiphany; life born anew links where we were with when we are and, if we are very lucky we understand the meaning and full measure of the importance of living in the moment. I'm able to link the time I saw dust motes drifting through the first light of day. And in turn sharing the same experience with each of my kids. And again with my mother just moments before I felt the absence of another life. We spend so much time working to make a future for our kids. And we do. I've learned that our children live in the moment, insulated from a past that become stale the more you relive it: love makes the moment fresh and invaluable for those with whom meaning is given. Each moment is a shock like our first breath. Family (through blood or good fortune are everything worthwhile in any single moment.

[@lvelez1999]

Beautifully done. One of Dust's best. God bless you all always ✝️ 💕

[@DragonsTaco]

Beautifully done. If my life is shortened, it would be nice to be able to see pictures of my children in the future, and know the adults they will become. A shortened life has it's sadness, today and in the future.

[@robinsiler2420]

This one really hit at the heart strings...I have a three year old and this short just has me in tears.

[@scottcupp8129]

My daughter was 23. She died in December. This film really has me in tears right now as well. I missed a lot of my daughter's life of course not by choice but my ex is a horrible monster that kept me away from her. I have always been told that one must not hate anyone else. It messes with the cardinal rule. Hannah (my daughter) was severely autistic and non verbal. I guess my ex hates me more than words can say because every time something happened with Hannah (such as autistic shortcomings) I was always the one she would throw the blame at. This really stirred the emotional pot within me and allowed me to do something that I think really needed to happen. I'm still crying.

[@raffaelevalente7811]

Amazing short, I loved it! Anyway, I found it a tragic story. The little girl deserves a real mother who takes care of her every day, not a ghost who goes and see her every 5 years. The most realistic sequence is when the girl is a teen and refuses to see her mother, because their are actually strangers. Like the relatives who live on the other side of the globe and come and see you once evry 5 years: they just can say "Oh, you are so grown up!". Furthermore I would never EVER want to see my daughter older than me. BTW, I had the same reaction watching _Interstellar_ (2014)

[@brandycewonderland1497]

If I am sick and dying just let me die for I cannot bear the burden of missing my son and seeing him grow older than I appear to be. My mommy heart couldn't take such suffering.

[@jennyJayify]

With all the various horror shorts, how refreshing it is to come across something so well done and yes, believable.

[@John-ww6li]

Wow, what a great short film. They cast each actor for the various ages of the daughter well, great acting too.

[@cDroningOn]

This is an amazing "hack" in physics - time dilation. Try reading "Forever War" by Joe Haldeman for an interesting twist to SciFi War Fiction - very enjoyable.

[@UnFormCirusprint]

Forever War one of by favorite books... I read it in 1977, when I was in the Army. I knew that Joe had been in the Army. No one had to tell me; I knew just by reading the book.

[@boggers]

They're making a film of Forever War, but it's been a few years in development already and they haven't even started shooting yet. Sounds like a joke, but it's true. "Tau Zero" by Poul Anderson is another great novel about time dilation.

[@AlanaLee-xv2qy]

One of my favorites, and it's sequel. I liked this story, but I think if I was the mom, I would have stayed and lived out my life once my daughter had her own children, instead of outliving her.

[@kufujitsu]

Haldeman's "Worlds" & "Worlds Apart" were good too..as was his first contact novel - the title of which escapes me. Many of these short films are base on old novels & stories many people haven't heard of......it doesn't mean DUST is no good - I like the channel. But I have a feeling that if all these film-makers are 100% honest, they'll 'fess up & admit the influence's of earlier SF books....I know this is true, 'cause I've read lots SF books, & I've seen their plots & ideas reused on many occasions. Yeah the "Forever War" looks like it's having trouble getting sufficient backing, as is Lovecraft's "The Mountains of Madness" - which would have been some film - & surprisingly, the Avatar sequel might never get made, for the same reason.

[@DiandraStarShine]

​@@kufujitsu that's not at all a secret or dishonest.🙄 because it's a very well known FACT, among science-fiction fans & storytellers, esp., older teens & adults - that *THAT'S* how sci-fi storytelling often works: many of the writers of books & movies, they DELIBERATELY pay homage - somewhere or in many places, in each one of in most of their works..homage to those writers and stories that were already existing previously..it's actually *'a thing,'* like a handshake or a nod to the others that came before..and *most* sci-fi writers and fans are aware of this because it's *very much done on purpose.* so, either you are *fairly young* and/or new to the genre *or* you somehow missed the well known FACT that it's not at all a secret aspect of the genre..ever since after the very first generation of science-fiction writers put out their own projects..which is why sci-fi is one of the few, of not the ONLY genre of creative/intellectual properties that are rarely the subject of copyright disputes vs. the number of copyright disputes re: other categories of creativity..because of the 'sci-fi family' bond and what the subject matter, overall, means to so many of us..and when there have been disputes, it's commonly been over blatant, actual *plagiarism,* which is a very different thing and those who do *that,* they *should* be taken to court. and what are you talking about re: Avatar 2 and copyright concerns?? because, *no,* and there are indeed plans for more of that storytelling from James Cameron [and for more than just one sequel] and many of the actors for the 2nd installment have been secured. so, you should study up on the *REAL* reason for the delays before posting such nonsense again..because it has nothing to do with copyright issues.🤦🏽‍♀️ rather it has to do with a few important *other* things, including certain *very challenging practical aspects* of exactly what it *is* that they want to bring to the public, how *exactly* to get it done. similar to what the issues were with the movie, *Contact (1997)* being made..which was produced *before* CGI was available and also before other currently existing computer programs were invented..so they had to hire people *just* to CREATE computer programs from scratch, in order to get *that* film made in the way they really wanted to present it to audiences.

A reflection of the times we live in.

[@danielhanawalt4998]

Not too sure I'd want to fast forward and see my children grow old and dying. This film was well played and touched me. Lost my mother over thirty years ago. Still miss her very much. Time has lessened the loss. If she came back now, I'd know it was not real. Perhaps in the future things will be different. For now I'll accept the natural order of life. I like these short films from DUST and others. DUST is my favorite. Makes me think and wonder about the future.

[@scottcupp8129]

I lost my only daughter in December. She was 23. This film really turned on the water works. As with you, I also lost my mom but I lost both my mom and dad at once. I lost them to a car accident in July of 1993. I really like your comment.

[@rebeccamd7903]

Oh wow! Yeah this is a huge tearjerker!! 😭

Too little, too late. Life is not to be saved up, it's to be savored.

[@michaelwertzy9808]

Very well put, M.L. ! I've reached the time in my life that we are not immortal. Even though I've known it since I was in my middle teens, but as you continue with life, with all the unexpected realizations and occurrences, that life is shorter than we can accept. Your comment is right on point! 10-Q!

[@LabGecko]

For you now. But who knows what your reaction would have been in her situation? A daughter that is just beginning her own person and you have two years to live, but there's this chance that you could be saved? I know I'd be telling my wife to get on that ship.

I understand stretching out your time so that you can watch your child grow up but not to watch them grow old. Well done!

[@fredwatkins5017]

I despise when the characters in the story are told or whisper the dialog you can never hear, trying to make it endearing...it never works...other than that, I thought it was a brainstorming, thought provoking idea of how time was used...fresh, breath taking scenery along with some tech ideas(at least, ideas I never heard/thought of)that are new...I like how the timeline fits into a possible future that is very nearby along with the symbolism of keeping nature in the mind of the viewer...great acting with a superb storyline...this makes me ecstatic to say, "I'm glad the lines/borders are being blurred from what mainstream cinema feeds us to a fantastic, meaningful short film a DUST YT video presents to its audience"...would love to give the middle finger and cram this up hollyweird's , you know what!!!...Beautiful, thanx again!!!....time well spent💖...could definitely pull this off as full, featured Christmas/holiday film!!!...GOOD LUCK in future endeavors.

[@dannylowe8932]

This was so sad. I would never take the trip like that and see my children grow old while I stay young. Too cruel.

[@micahgoodwin3513]

Even if the only way to see them was to leave for a while?

[@dannylowe8932]

Still would not be worth it to me watching my loved ones my children grow old and die while I continued existing in what I can only think of as purgatory for several lifetimes. In no way in my mine can I think of it as having a life.

[@DandyMissSandy]

Wow. That may be my favorite one so far. Im at work watching this (dont tell) and now I have to explain that AND why I'm crying. Worth it.

[@DirkPlante]

Sitting here crying my eyes out. Love the story and everything about it...

[@chuckandmax7313]

That was so sad, my mom passed away in 2018 and I still cry for her every day. But having her like this would have hurt more. This poor girl had to watch her mother die every day of her life and she never was able to have any closure. Excellent film and great cast, I really enjoyed the special effects, I can really imagine living with that tech, all the drones everywhere, and it was nice to see a movie filmed in the future that didn’t have a plot line where the robots or AI rebelled and took over mankind. It was also refreshing to see the future looking clean and fresh, most future movies go for the grange overpopulated globalist multicultural mish mash. I would love to see humanity take their technology to this level where freedom still rings and going ice skating or playing in the park are still a thing.

[@got2kittys]

That was really intense and a great story. If we developed near- light speed space travel it would come true.

[@MarkSeve]

Excellent twist on time.

[@Rickyrab]

Going at near light speed would help make certain things more practical, like colonization of the stars and terraforming. Since terraforming takes decades or centuries, the best way to accomplish this without going off track over generations would be to send a ship off at somewhere near c.

[@jackpopulorum8549]

[@slimdudeDJC]

I don't think the entire thing was original, certain part of it, certainly. Rod Serling did something somewhat similar in his TZ series ( *"Queen of the Nile"* ) episode.

[@Benjabola]

My first rewatch on Dust.

[@EduardoSilvaLopez]

The most obvious problem I have with this video is the *COMMUNICATION* . Even travelling fast (2 years in 60), she can *talk* with her daughter, all the time. Videos can be sent back and forth, all the time. She could have been "there" at least in this sense all her life. I would have prefered that the movie would have included this aspect, making it maybe less dramatic / sad, but nonetheless fascinating, realistic and I would say emotional enough. It was not necessary to cut even that. Besides that, yes, moving, well done, interesting way to present the future... all ok, it is a good movie, but with that it would have been *fantastic* .

[@josephkoester3217]

[@EarlOfMaladyCrescent]

That was so good! @ first, I wasn't sure why the Mum was going forwards in time & skipping big chunks of her daughter's life. It made sense later on; she was ill & didn't have long to live. Great plot. Jo Armeniox, (the Mum), is gorgeous too!

[@ljprep6250]

Yup, my eyes leaked, too. Thanks, Dust. You guys pick the very best shorts on YT.

[@John77Doe]

Why every 7 years, so far apart in time. Why not once every year??? Or even twice a year??

[@almostoneword]

John Doe Well, that'll be poetic licence, contrivance, MacGuffin or just to fit it into a 'Short' of 25 minutes 😉

[@DarionDAnjou]

if they chose twice a year, your comment would ask why not every month? in the end it's just a story choice, but we can assume that if you've only got two years to live, that you'd want to be sparing with it to be sure you did make it to the end of your daughter's life at least.

[@DarionDAnjou]

selfishly too, she's probly also hoping someone will find a cure for what she has.

[@shreyanshaswal9831]

Maybe due to the costs associated with travelling to space and back to earth

[@pufthemajicdragon]

The answer to that question ultimately lies in 2 other questions: 1. How fast are they traveling? 2. How far are they going? If we could get a ship traveling close to c, 7 years would be just about right for a round-trip to Alpha Centauri. More likely we're talking a tiny fraction of c and traveling just within our own solar system. In any case, she'd be gone for however long it took to reach her destination, do whatever science stuff she signed up to do, and return.

[@AnnBearForFreedom]

My technical theatre professor once said to me...."Mood lighting is only effective if people can STILL SEE YOU!" I'm sure it was a lovely short, but it was too dark to understand anything.

[@williamkinsey4979]

I turned up the lighting it is much better.

[@lw216316]

One of the best Sci-fi I've ever seen. Very creative plot. Even with near light speed travel death would eventually come. I don't want a temporary solution. I want a forever fix. That's why I trust in Christ who gives me the promise of a life that will not end. Come join us.

[@EduardoSilvaLopez]

To believe a promise made by some guy 2000 years ago, which is both completely impossible as well as evil and decieving? No, thanks.

[@hi.moriarty]

Powerful! Emotionally charged right from the start. We can presume the daughter sees a natural death, but what of the Mother? Does she now stop her treatment and perish, her initial goal fulfilled?

[@pufthemajicdragon]

I was hoping that mother and daughter took a final trip together into space, so the daughter could see what her mom's been doing all that time. When they did that space sequence near the end that's exactly what I thought they were doing - and then they brought it back to Earth in the hospice room and I was so disappointed.

[@lucyk2371]

This is based (I think) on Einstein's theory of light speed travel, it basically says that time will move slower for all of us not moving at light speed. So if you had 2 years left to live and you wanted to be there for all the important events of your child's life, then you could. It isnt the natural order of things though is it?

[@majorhawker4776]

Close but in reverse. The faster you go the slower time will be. This is just a theory, and like every other theory it is only missing the final fact. In this case being able to travel faster then light. The other part would be does time translate in the universe. Man created Time. The universe has no time or clock, it is infinite and finite at the same time.
