STORY

In the year 3007, Earth is burning, and only one family escaped to an unfinished artificial planet: Vega, her husband Tom, and their daughter, Astra.

Years ago, Tom saved Vega from a terminal illness by turning her into a cyborg. But when Astra falls ill with the same disease, he refuses to do the same, unwilling to watch her lose her humanity like Vega did. Instead, he ends Astra’s life, believing it an act of mercy.

But Vega can’t let go.

As the planet collapses, she decides to do what Tom couldn’t: transform herself fully into a machine, gaining the strength and intelligence needed to resurrect Astra as a robot, even if it means losing the last remnants of her family.

Story

Once human. Now cyborg. Vega is desperate to save her baby, convinced it’s the key to restoring her family. But as it proves impossible, she realizes that essence is not bound to flesh.

He saved his wife’s body but killed the woman he loved. With his daughter slipping away, he won’t make that mistake again, even if it breaks what’s left of him.

Embodying the love, hopes, and dreams that once united her parents, Astra’s worsening condition exposes the fragility of her parents' marriage.

DIRECTORS STATEMENT

Everything has to end.

Loved ones pass, relationships fall apart, and even the Earth itself is dying. Perfect life was born from an ending in my own life. For years, I chased the love and approval of someone who could never give it. When it all collapsed, I had to rebuild myself from the ground up. In that darkness, I discovered my strength and evolved.

In an age of unprecedented change, from climate change to the rise of AI, Perfect Life is an allegory for human resilience. It’s about realizing that even when you can see the end of the world from where you stand, there’s beauty in the ashes of what was and hope in a life that better aligns with what you have become.
