The Speed of Light

Dr. Amara Osei, 32 (biological age) / 46 (calendar age), is a physicist who volunteered for a fourteen-year deep space mission at eighteen. Due to relativistic time dilation, she experienced only four years of time while Earth experienced fourteen. She returns to a planet where her parents have aged, her friends have built lives, and the scientific community has moved on — while she is twenty-two years old with a doctorate and a lifetime of isolation. The film is a quiet, devastating science fiction character study about the alienation of returning. The romance with her former colleague Dr. Marcus Webb — who was her age when she left and is now forty, and who waited without intending to — is the film's central emotional engine.
