A young girl named Sofie (Wilma Hedberg) resides with her mother (Cecilia Milocco) on a vast, isolated farm at the turn of the 20th century.

To ease Sofie's loneliness, her mother reads to her letters she receives daily from her beloved absentee father.

One fateful day, Sofie discovers a shocking secret about her family and farm that will change her reality forever.

RESET is a gripping sci-fi mystery with a mind-bending twist you won't see coming.

Created by Swedish filmmaking duo Fredrik Akerström and Marcus Kryler, the short is also beautifully acted and gorgeously shot.

In fact, the vivid and lush pastoral setting is effectively juxtaposed with the film's dark and forbidding narrative, creating a churning undercurrent of suspense that pulls you in within the first five minutes.

Synopsis Sophie lives alone with her mother on a desolate farm in the middle of nowhere. A place that hides a secret far worse than she could have imagined. Director Statement : We both come from a childhood marked by much loneliness, where the security of one's parents was vital. The thing that scared the most was the thought that once parents would die, or disappear, the security would be crushed, or that it was only an illusion. With "Reset", we want to portray this particular fear a child would feel when the worst thinkable becomes a reality.

RESET is a completely enthralling sci-fi mystery with a provocative twist that will leave you wanting more.
