The SYNOPSIS

In the near future, the Blink necklace connects human consciousness to a global network — blurring the line between real and virtual, and opening the possibility of reprogramming consciousness itself. When unexplained events begin correcting decisions driven by power, averting catastrophic outcomes, the world starts calling them Anomalies — triggering an international investigation.

Ava Duskbloom, a globally celebrated music star, returns to Brussels for a massive hybrid concert connecting millions through Blink. When a new anomaly strikes, she crosses paths again with Luca, her former love — a man obsessed with the Anomalies and in possession of information no one else has uncovered. The truth they uncover will reshape not only their bond, but their destiny forever.

Director's STATEMENT

I've always believed science fiction's greatest power isn't to warn us — it's to show us where we could go. Most AI stories are built around fear. But if those are the only futures we imagine, we won't have better ones to reach for.

My whole life has been somewhere between technology and creativity — coding as a teenager, then visual effects for film, then interactive immersive experiences. When the AI boom exploded, I knew it was time to bring a universe I'd been quietly building for years to life.

ANOMALIES follows two former lovers reuniting in the near future — an intimate story asking bigger questions about identity and humanity, and just one glimpse of where we could go.

I made it because I think we need better futures to dream about and pursue.

- Diego López-Mobilia
