Supercollider

The story unfolds in contemporary times, with a cutting-edge lab and modern technology. The experiment and its fallout feel immediate, reflecting current scientific ambitions and risk. Disaster imagery, such as tornadoes and disrupted urban life, anchors the drama in a recognizable world.

Zero Point Industries houses the world’s largest collider, the Zero Point Collider, a cutting-edge research complex where a test run triggers a cataclysmic explosion. The shelter underground becomes a refuge during a tornado that follows the disaster, forcing survivors to huddle in a cramped, dim space. A nightclub later serves as a wrecked social hub where the consequences of the collider unfold and memories clash with reality.

🌐 Alternate Reality

Victor’s world fractures after the collider’s detonation, creating an alternate timeline where relationships shift and the past replays with altered outcomes. The line between memory and fact blurs as he encounters familiar people in unfamiliar circumstances. The film uses this premise to examine the costs of scientific progress when human lives are at stake.

🧠 Memory

Memory anchors Victor to what was, while grief opens a door to misleading relief in the alternate world. Memory Relapse Syndrome is proposed to cope with pain, illustrating how grief can distort perception. The iPhone acts as a bridge to the original life, showing how personal artifacts sustain identity.

⚖️ Science Ethics

The collider's promise of limitless energy clashes with the cost in human lives and moral compromise. Leo’s plan to monetize the device exposes the dangers of scientific power when profit overrides ethics. Victor’s conflict centers on whether scientific achievement justifies potential harm. The climax forces a reckoning about responsibility, accountability, and the price of progress.
