So amusing 4 minutes in, where she's still walking with her body protected by a comically over protective armoured suit,... meanwhile, her head is totally unprotected, exposed.

When you managed to travel through space but landing precisely was not your forte...

As a general rule, plants don't consume oxygen; they emit oxygen and consume carbon dioxide. There's probably still a way to make the protag. give their life for the plant, but the oxygen warning is probably not the best way. The comments I'm seeing are complaining about the imprecise landing, but the pod can't land on uneven terrain, like the switchbacks shown, so I think that part is okay. Though it might be worth a line for why they chose to land where they did instead of the detected location of the plant. Caves and uneven terrain are some of the reasons you could use. If that tent + PVC is a safe enough shelter from the storm, then the pod would be as well, so storms might not be a good reason for the hike.

I do not know if this short was good or not as my mind could not get away from the fact that the spaceship landed 15 miles from it's destination... even 1 mile from destination a novice could have touched down there with it's auto-pilot

This coastal Alabama gal says this is EXCELLENT !!! Thank you!

15 miles for a pod that has burners to land with precision?

Contrived drama, and generally incomprehensible.

This one, picks itself apart. Unless. When dear old dad, woke her up. That was now/reality, and the rest of the trippe was her dreaming.

Travel to another planet in a space craft, land on a planet full of unknowns wearing a space suit and no helmet. No wonder you die with a head injury.

It would have made more sense if the plant created an abundace of oxygen. So when she fell, she didn't need her breather in the cave. Once she leaves, she hooks her tube up to the plant container and is able to get back to the module.

It's a trap! Now the plants have a taste for humans.

just needed to add a little carbon, calcium and CO2....composting is important to plants! 😎🤙

If you thought the spacecraft looked familiar, it's Solomon epsteins spacecraft from the expanse

So the plant has grown on the planet no problem, but she needs to give it O2 to make it back to the ship? Seriously?

If the plant was growing on the planet before she got there, why would she need to give it oxygen to survive? And yeah, that 15 mile thing was annoying.

Italian is even better when they’re yelling at each other.

I enjoyed the film, but dropping her 15 miles away in a hostile environement without a full suit or even glasses seems like a bad idea. If communication was that good it looks like she could have been better prepared.

Visually a nice piece of work, but otherwise it couldn't convince me. As most other comments stated, the imprecise landing doesn't match the high-tech spaceship design. The reentry vehicle also wouldn't be aerodynamically stable (not mentioning structural issues) with those wings pointing forward, but that's creative freedom I can live with. Then the shelter - it looks very flimsy, not like it would survive even a gusty wind in that rocky landscape, given that the next storm almost killed Karen. Then the plant growing on the planrt requiring oxygen to be carried? That simply doesn't make any sense at all. At the end, the extraction point is between ruined buildings. Normally, you'd expect a flat, open area to land an extraction pod. In my opinion, having Karen to get back to the landing pod would make more sense. Changing the story in a way that the way to the plant is easy first, but then a storm coming and blocking the way back with a rock slide so she has to find a way around to get back to the pod would make way more sense and keep the story basically identical and doesn't need the "plant requires oxygen" twist to work.

It's monumental irony that people will risk their own lives to prove a point. If it's a success, it's heralded. If not, well...

Plot details are a killer. It took me months to plausibly wreck a starship for a short story. In this movie we need a back story to know why a lone human is expected to walk 15 miles on an alien world.

All that VFX work was undercut by a story that made no sense. The 15 mile trek might make more sense if the plant was in a rocky cliff face, or someplace inaccessible to her ship, but everything was at least as flat as the area where the ship landed. Then, why did the plant need her oxygen when it was growing rapidly without it? Last, how the Hell did this newly oxygenated plant 1. get out of the device she put it in, 2. cover the entire planet, and 3. also mutate into a completely different subspecies (the trees), all in 25 years? Any species that invasive would be a threat to any other form of life on the planet. The FX and production values were good for a low budget film. The same crew with a better script would have killed. Maybe next time...

Italian is such a beautiful language. So pleasant to the ear. Understood about three words and the numbers.

❤a beautifull story... her life, gave a planet life...15 miles _ 1+5=6...number is an Omen....she became eva...sole for life...the missing thing the plant was waiting for...both was destend to unite...& Desteny brought them together forever. .the End

So glad she found the mcguffin we didn't even know she was looking for or why it was important..Then she gave it HER oxygen , when it seemed to be just fine in its indigenous environment. Then it seemed like it was all a dream?! Does Noone look to plug potholes in the script before they shoot?

PLEASE keep making the dust shows there all incredible. Thank you

Question. Why would the nav system land 15 miles from the area of interest?

I’ve always wanted to see a film like this. Failure! It happens a lot more often than success irl and yet is rarely depicted in film.

I really liked the technical making of this piece.

To the makers of this film you did a fantastic job. The characters were so real. I was so rooting for Karen.

Thank you Dust

Excellent many thanks

This may be science fiction, but that does not mean you can just ignore science facts. This was such a mish-mash of bad science and bad plotting, it made me angry.

The difference between factual and fiction movies is that fiction has to be believable.

Although there may be some small scientific anomalies and things that don't logically add up, its the message that is important here, a personal sacrifice for the good of all mankind, that is the moral of this story. It was a well put together film, great sound track and moral inspired story. Sometimes, we need to stop challenging, and examining every little detail in a film, and just let it entertain us! Well done and thank you

She offered oxygen, protection and fertilizer to the plant.

Un bel corto sci fi italiano, bravi!!!

12:16 pretty strange plant with no roots 😅

So... um... she died because she chose to give her oxygen to a plant that could already survive in its natural environment? I am physically incapable of sympathizing with a character this incompetent.

concordo con molti commenti sul fatto che la storia ha qualche stonatura, qualche scelta narrativa poco logica e qualche incoerenza scientifica e tecnologica.. Ma ragazzi non mollate, perché è stata una piacevolissima sorpresa sentire i personaggi che parlano italiano in questo canale.

Very good film.

I am a alien and I approve

Qualche ingenuità e qualche imperfezione, sicuramente una dizione da perfezionare, ma nell' insieme un buon lavoro - e come accade di rado, ITALIANO!

Interesting, a plant that needs oxygen.

I was really rooting for this film to be good because it looked great, unfortunately the plot holes killed it. Landing so far without explanation, a plant that survived, but inexplicably needed her O2 to survive? Then somehow the plant lived, broke out of its container and spread all over. Again, visually it looked great, but the writing confused me.

I thought that was her boyfriend/ husband until she said “papa”. Every scene of them together forward was a bit weird. However, I liked the effort that was put into making this film; there were some great visuals at times. Plot was thready.

hey Dust - *thank you* for all you to showcase sci-fi short films - it is really really appreciated. and my fellow Dust subscribers - hi, hello, 👋 _waves_ - re the *15 miles* (which was MY major issue) - the official reason is - 'she land far from area because of the type of terrain' (and because of the fuel) as with many shorts - the creative people behind this come here, in this case Carlos Milite the director vfx artist for 'Plant' has been reading the comments, and is taking on board the constructive feedback. 'We explain many time that this was a desperate Mission. There were many others Mission all failed. Our focus was on the attitude and passion of our Character for this impossible Mission. If this was Easy wouldn't be a story.' I think, like many of you have commented, that there are some major flaws in the plot - this is a creative process - to me this like a 'test screening' that the film industry does all the time. Carlos and his team are listening to the feedback - and are working on fixing the flaws - but apparently as revised version of this couldn't be uploaded to Dust Dust - is this right? if so, why? I for one would LOVE to see a revised version - addressing the 15 miles, the plant needing oxygen, other plot issues my fellow Dust subscribers - and/or anyone just passing through - wouldn't that be great - to see your feedback heard, listened to - a creative process changed as a result of lessons learnt from us all - after all, the creative process is just this *creative* - not perfect as Carlos says "Anyway we know that our short isnt perfect but we did with 3500 euros Only and we Will do Better Next time 😃" - don't YOU want to see the revised version here on Dust - next level Dust 😊- not just show-casing creative content - actually helping to make _better_ content - (allowing Carlos to provide us all with a revised version of Plant - ) just seems like a win-win-win for all of us - you, us - Carlos and his team - sci-fi content in general just a thought

So beatifull,I liked it very much

She really slapped her dad. This is the first movie i have seen where a argument between a dad and his daughter ends with the father getting slapped otherwise its the exact opposite that happens. The daughter gets slapped and she looks in disbelief at her mom or dad whoever slapped her and then runs away to her room just plopping on her bed

very good short film!

certo, prego, belissimo

MOLTO BENE...! 1000 BRAVO....! MOLTO SENTIMENTAL....Greetings from GREECE

Moving music and good acting. But the plot was terrible. Knew area where the plant was but landed 15 miles from it? Plant lives on planet without life support but needs oxygen for a 500 meter walk? If you want to fix this, take out the scene where her father brings her food and put it as the ending. This makes it look like it was a dream and in dreams, anything is possible.

If You're reading This i Pray you Fight thru all your distractions, pain, Depression. Dont stop trying there's life on the other side...... Once you reach there that part of you has to die, for New, better, higher you will be Born. Sending you strength and Love 💖 Great Movie

This won awards? We need to stop making movies about a "Planet B" that will somehow save humanity. There is no Planet B. We are destined to become extinct. it's just a matter of time before we are gone and we take as much of the living planet as possible. Humans lack the skill to save themselves from themselves.

Unsure how you go from annihilation to green in 25 years. Was that her unifom in the grass at the end? What did they need the plant for anyway ?

Those wrighters they get to baffle the audience every time. The budget , always a limiting factor. So what happened to the AI?

Dust series and movie productions, they're better then Hollywood movies and TV shows.. they need to start making movies and have there on cable network. I would pay for it

I would name the plant, Robert.

I'm a little confused 😂😂😂 Landed 15 miles away from where she needed to go. Died 15 meters from the extraction point. I guess a feature could give us a little more context. But, I guess I am talking about it so, the short did it's job. 😝

Can never understand why they land 15 miles from where they have to go.

I don't know, the plot has severe quirks. Beeing landing off so far in spite the fact they have a cool lander. Why does the plant require suddenly oxygen when it could have survived without before? I know, the Italians have invented the dramatic opera, but this makes no sense

So the A.I was made by Alfa Romeo. You know it won't get you to your required destination when you most need it...

I normally like the shorts that come from this channel but there are so many issues with the execution of this one that I can't ignore. From the face masks poor fit (what is the point/what is it there for), to the suit's monitor being placed where the user cant even see it, the cable on the shoulder sticking up a good 6 inches just asking to be snagged and tear, the poor landing (which I could overlook as a 'no better landing area closer' if the area she was walking through didn't look the same as the landing point and be just as flat and open), and multiple other issues. The story idea was good, but the execution was poor.

Love this DUST stuff

Did anyone else see a very tiny 'Wall-E' in this? This was well done, but landing 15 miles away from the target? Guidance computers failed on this one.

ok..... ummmm.... i'm confused. I _wanted_ to like this... it started off so beautifully... (visuals) - (all those shiny awards....) but what - why 15 MILES away?? couldn't it lander CLOSER - seriously?? ~ and 15 *MILES* (so: 24,140 metres..!!!!) and then - after storm she just had just go to *700 meters* to safety?? (so... 0.4 miles..) to set off a beacon that was already there? AND was launched from the ship / the computer - what? why? none of this makes sense the 'plant' (assuming new planet, dying, last remaining plant...) needed oxygen to survive - so how did it survive without it? WHAT is that at the end? her and the plant (or just the container) - why suddenly skeleton buildings behind her on barren planet ??? again - this makes no sense... take it the 25 years later is this new planet - what? if they can *fix* that barren planet why not earth?? - why i'm so frustrated all this time, energy, money, resources, effort spent focused on mars, moon - rather than FIXING earth! 🌍🌍🌍 oh also - though he was her partner/husband - ick DO appreciate the clear subtitles sorry to be so negative. I really REALLY wanted to like this. looked stunning - at first, and pretty blue alien world at end. EDIT - and missed most obvious flaw (thanks to @prk55 pointing it out) HOW is one tiny plant - that NEEDS oxygen to survive suppose to terraform a planet - ie create an oxgyen atmosphere for humans?????

I presume her body nourished the plant to help it grow stronger. Bravo fictional character. Success...

The plant emits oxygen and the human emits carbon dioxide. In reality, they could’ve kept each other alive.

If the plant was thriving on the normal atmosphere, why would it need her oxygen?

I saw Big buds...

16:38 min short with distracting credits 4 minutes in.

The dim grey color for the captions was a poor choice. Difficult to read. Contrast is crucial to readability.

WHAAAAAT? She lands, then HAS TO WALK 15 MILES?! That’s messed up. Orbit..loiter around till the storm passes; Really ‘HIGH tech’ for not being able to set down/land CLOSE TO your destination..

OOPS! Made a Mistake there is a Plant in the far left edge of the screen at 7:15 to 7:17 into this short movie - Bad Editing

Lets go into a dust storm with no eye protection, better yet a full helmet, just sayin

Whoever did the subtitles seems to have learned punctuation from twits in chatrooms. Always use punctuation to set-off vocatives from any other elements. No exceptions.

Good film, but stupid computer. Why not fly the dam ship to her location? You'd think with all that tech, it could do that. Edit: It did not occur to me there was a fuel issue. Though I paid little attention to the English subtitles. My take is that they landed where they did at the eye of the storm. You don't need very flat land to make a landing. Hell you could land on a hill at an angle as long as the angle doesn't call a fall or tilt. I figured the location of the plant wasn't exactly known, but the woman used her memories, or her gut instinct to find it. It was at that point, after the storm, she should have called the ship to her location. Though I'd understand that wouldn't allow for exiting the planet if there was a fuel issue.

Fair...

I smoke weed and feel like I'm in space

15 miles on foot on a barren, inhospitable planet and with no eye protection? C'mon?

That was exalent ! Thanks !

The only thing I like about this short film is the exploration at some time in the near far distant future we're gone have to leave earth to find a home . But the science was a little off true facts.

ALL THE TECH, YET A HUMAN HAS TO WALK ON A QUESTIONABLE PLANET, SURE.....

I loved this Dust Short & gave it a "Like"! Just one issue with the script/plot - why would the ship land 15 Miles away from the target destination??? It really wasn't explained/qualified. Sorry to say, but I'm still a Loyal Subscriber!

Why wasn’t she wearing a helmet to protect her eyes, ears, and whole noggin?

Why did the plant need her oxygen...

Oh Karen if only you could see those plants that are more that have found their own way of doing things as not everything has to act like earth plants to be useful. You paved the way for others, girl.

Board out of my mind 😭

full of armor, but why not a helmet?

So landing 15 miles away was a good idea?

120👍's up DUST thank you for sharing 😊

No eye protection.

Too much drama and bad acting. Sci-fi left on second plan. Bad. And credits still rolling until 4th minute.

🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇👍👍👍👍

Next time land closer to target🤦‍♂️

Love this. Love the lighting. Love the costume. Love the end.

so, what happend to plans A to R?

I didn’t understand this shortfilm.

I suspect David dropping her off 15miles away was retaliation for the sarcasm.

It's terribly shallow and naive.
