A Synthetic Human Fights to Survive in Visually Stunning Scifi ShortSeam

In the not - too - distant hereafter , a tenuous peace treaty between humans and unusually humanlike “ machines”—some do n’t even know they ’re not real — is tested when synthetics commence impromptu exploding . A military - led search for these unplanned suicide bombers begins , sending a terrified car woman and her human mate on the discharge .

Seam — named for a volatile border region sandwich between the designated machine containment zone and the human world — borrows from some excellent inspirations , including Blade Runner . But the 20 - second short , made by twin brothers Rajeev and Elan Dassani , make its chump with outstanding special effects and well - chosen location shot . Though the film begins in slick Hong Kong , its optic style is most unique when it contrast the futuristic tech used by its theatrical role with ancient configurations , including a chase scene that winds through the narrow streets of Salt , Jordan . The climactic succession takes place in Wadi Rum , the otherworldly desert last seen play Jedha in Rogue One .
