Trivia
Adapted from the short story "Saying Goodbye to Yang" by Alexander Weinstein, which is included in the author's 2016 collection, "Children of the New World."

Goofs
The camera that Yang uses to take the family portrait is a Pentax K1000, a common SLR film camera. The film shows Yang setting a self-timer (you can hear it buzzing) but the Pentax K1000 has no self-timer function.

Quotes
Yang: The ancient Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu once said: What the caterpillar calls "the end" the rest of the world calls a butterfly.

gentle and lyrical and flawless

So few of these hi-concept lo-budget sci-fi films succeed, it is important for both critics and viewers alike to honor those that pull it off. That said, to argue that the brilliance of the film lies in its ability to leave the viewer with weighty thoughts afterwards is to miss the joy and compassion of the film in real time. Not Marvel. Not even especially commercial. But, for what it is, flawless. ((Designated "IMDb Top Reviewer."
