What if paradise was a trap and nobody told you the exit?
A strange force called "ALP" has created the perfect utopia. Most citizens have peacefully ascended into a virtual mountain realm, only few remained in the real world. Things begin to change as a curious woman returns from the mountainscape into the real world. This surreal short film was initially written to be the pilot episode for a mini series.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Written as a series pilot, which explains the maddening density — every frame is worldbuilding homework.
The 'ALP' name evokes both Alpine escape and sleep stages (REM, etc.) — the film treats digital afterlife as literally dreamlike.
