Synopsis

Back from vacation, Sann, a team lead at a university lab, learns that a researcher activated the “time detonator” three times at a government agent's demand. The device for tracking the branch points isn't finished yet. Sann orders the phones and dashcam footage of everyone who entered the chamber to be reconstructed with AI. In front of a monitor, someone plays the videos one by one. Sann, having pulled his car over, has tears running down his face for no reason he knows — and in the fast-forwarded footage, a blurry, ghostlike figure flickers in the passenger seat. Traces of an erased wife and daughter.
