A woman in a futuristic London is surviving day to day after losing someone she loved. The world around her keeps moving forward, but she’s emotionally anchored to the past. She uses a dream machine to return to memories where warmth and sunlight still exist—things she can’t feel when she’s awake. Those dreams give her relief and intensity, almost like a drug, but they come at a cost and slowly wear her down. The score should feel restrained and cold in the waking world, then gently open up in the dream moments with a sense of warmth and pull, without tipping into nostalgia or sentimentality. The tone should remain quiet and unresolved, leaving it unclear whether the dreams are keeping her alive or destroying her.
