It follows a young girl named Emily who was contacted by a third generation of a clone of her future self. The clone's objective was to extract Emily's memory of her and her mother but to do so clone first explained to her about the cloning process, time travelling and her love life.

I found the short film really entertaining, creative and comedic. The style of the animation was fairly simple and was also very childlike as if it was drawn by a child. It worked well with the story and the plot was a little bit dark but still comedic.

If you look at it in another way, it was actually focusing more on human society who were afraid of dying to the point that they extracted their memory and made a clone of themselves to live longer. This has allowed them to "box" themselves rather than to die normally.

I felt that the animation style actually changes the tone of the story and taking away most of the dark humor.
