Optics (2021)
Two estranged young sisters are suffering emotional turmoil when they make a startling discover, their cherished camera is somehow alive. A sense of wonder emerges that captures their imagination, and the camera takes them on an adventure that leads to a glint of hope amid a backdrop of a world falling apart. However, as time runs out to find the answers they crave, will the journey finally bring them back to each other or shatter any hopes of a reconciliation?

Reviews
