The Love Machine
An ancestor dreams of a present-day Philadelphia. Nasir Smith, a teenage scientist, and influencer has the desire to heal his family’s past to welcome back love and compassion into their household. Going Live! he presents his new invention to the world, called The Love Machine. More than a time machine, participants specifically go back to the past to reframe moments of their childhood that caused them trauma. Nasir puts this concept to the test by inviting his distant older sister, Nadia to be his first subject. Reluctant and annoyed, and now trapped inside a strange tin-plated full-body chamber, Nadia is encouraged to believe that even in difficult times love can still exist. The ancestor awakens, satisfied with the future she is building.
