Tired Light - Kati Jägel-Paal

Daniel spends his days unravelling the vast mysteries of the universe while haunted by shadows and illusions from the past. When he meets Anna, her quiet confidence unsettles him but he fails to recognize true light. As their conversations drift between science and solitude, Daniel is forced to face the disconnect between his intellect and his emotions. Under the city’s fading glow, he begins to question whether meaning is something to be discovered or something to be chosen. The heartbroken physicist invents his own ideology, substituting unreliable human connection with the glow of physical light.
