Description

Nova follows the story of a computer scientist engaged in a secretive international project; as part of his experiments he uses his son, who is accidentally turned into a digital version of himself and trapped in an eternal cyberspace. At once a period piece and a sci-fi film, Nova's narrative slowly devolves, and in the words of the artist, "The film has no sense of time, because the actors are always travelling between the past, present, and future."
