Summaries

At the peak of Summer, in a realm where circuits intertwine with consciousness, Martha and David question whether a menacing algorithm conceals the whispers of spirits, blurring the boundaries between technology and ethereal existence.

In the heat of summer, in the early 2000s, Martha and David travel in their personalized camper van to mysterious places around the world, when they witness a strange electric storm that infects their technology, particularly "Link" - a software they designed to collect data and search for different interpretations. As the storm approaches, "Link" starts malfunctioning and a strange figure of a ghostly woman appears in all their photos, leading them to question if this is an Error; if "Link" is actually "alive" and if this is its personification; or rather the ghost of Martha's ex-colleague who committed suicide in her last year of University. The days pass and the typing sound on the computer's keyboard is the only prevailing sound in both lives. As David becomes obsessed with his search for answers on the web, he isolates himself from Martha. While their relationship becomes cold and distant, Martha is slowly tormented by the idea of this menacing algorithm as something demonic. When the storm finally arrives, Martha runs back to the camper van alone and uploads a video, showing us her partner David's disappearance.—Catarina César
