SHOT LIST 1-56
Hovering in the air in front of the Eklipse Masters, Torm holds her breath as a powerful wind blasts past her. The field beneath her falls away into the sky, and night turns to day, revealing a long bridge leading to a beautiful white palace.
As she walks past pillars topped with unicorns bearing mirrors, Torm crosses the sky bridge and approaches a large set of doors. They swing open as she nears them. She continues forward until she reaches the grand gates of the palace. The doors stand open, glowing with warm light from within.
Curiosity overpowering her caution, she steps inside. The massive doors close silently behind her as she enters the main hall of the palace.
TORM STANDS IN A LARGE HALL IN THE WHITE PALACE.
The palace’s interior is constructed of dark, maroon-colored wood that is organically ornate and intricate. Museum halls are stacked atop one another like ship decks or layers of cards. Rows of collection rooms line the corridors, containing everything from preserved medical organs to ancient types of dust. There are so many rooms that it would be impossible to visit them all in a single lifetime.
Torm enters one chamber and discovers a machine that looks like a piano-sized music box. Next to it is a box of glass plates. She thumbs through them and sees plates etched with music notation, flip books of people dancing, and others filled with words. Torm wipes the dust from the machine and examines how it works. The plates are clearly meant to be loaded into it.
This triggers a vivid memory of her sister:
Dream Machine
INT. TORM'S HOUSE - DAY
Torm is in her lab, carefully extracting fluid from her sister’s eye.
SISTER
Tell me again what this is for?
TORM
Just wait. I promise you’ll be amazed.
SISTER
It must be amazing. I’ve never seen you so giddy.
Torm places the fluid extract into the machine, fuses it with various parts, then gently guides her sister to a seat.
TORM
Sit right here.
Her sister sits.
TORM
Okay… are you ready?
SISTER
Yes.
Torm flips the final switch. The machine lights up, and images from her sister’s dream begin to appear.
SISTER
Is this…?
Her sister stands in awe, leaning closer. Torm remains silent, her face filled with excitement.
SISTER
(amazed) You found a way to extract dreams and record them?
TORM
Now we never have to forget them. And we can finally see the ones we can never remember!
SISTER
This is amazing! I don’t know what to say. My sister, the dream catcher.
INT. PALACE OF COLLECTIONS
Torm comes out of the memory and splices wires from the machine into a nearby power line, restoring light to the room. Fearing the new light might attract attention, her spy companion bumps into an object while trying to hide. Torm looks toward the noise.
TORM
Who’s there?
An old woman slowly steps out of the shadows.
INFINITY MOTHER
I’m sorry if I scared you. I haven’t seen anyone else in here for a very long time.
Torm relaxes at the sight of the sweet old woman’s face.
TORM
What is this place? Where are we?
INFINITY MOTHER
The Palace of Collections. A museum of absolute greed — the trap of the cruelest thief you’ll ever know.
TORM
Trap?
INFINITY MOTHER
Oh yes. This place opens its arms freely and lures you in, but the way out changes the moment the doors close behind you. The interior constantly shifts, rearranging its halls and hiding its exits. If its keeper were still alive, you would have been put through an assessment trial to see what the “Queen of Collections” could steal from you and add to her museum… just as she did to my son.
TORM
Your son?
INFINITY MOTHER
That’s why I’m here. The Queen took him and has him locked away somewhere in this place. You must be careful. Even though the Queen has been dead for many years, her traps remain very powerful.
TORM
Why did she take him?
INFINITY MOTHER
Infinity Blood. Do you know what that is?
TORM
It’s a nickname for a very rare blood type whose cells age extremely slowly.
INFINITY MOTHER
Exactly. She believed that with his blood, she could steal time itself — live forever while taking everything from everyone.
TORM
No transfusion has ever been successful. The host always rejects the blood.
INFINITY MOTHER
That didn’t stop her from trying.
TORM
Forgive this next question, but…
INFINITY MOTHER
But what makes me think he’s still alive?
TORM
Yes.
INFINITY MOTHER
I can feel his heart beating. A mother can feel her child’s heartbeat through the thickest walls of hell. I know he’s alive.
TORM
How old is your son?
INFINITY MOTHER
My son, Ori, is 65, but he won’t look a day older than a boy. All I want is to set him free before I die, so he doesn’t have to be tortured by an eternity.
Suddenly, a distant voice cries out:
ORI
Mother!
Torm and the old woman hear the cry. The Infinity Mother rushes to the door.
INFINITY MOTHER
Ori?!!!
She turns to Torm.
INFINITY MOTHER
It’s my son!
The Infinity Mother disappears down the hall. Torm quickly follows.
INFINITY MOTHER
Ori? I’m here! Where are you? Whatever you did to power that machine must have set him free.
They move quickly through the shifting halls, calling his name.
TORM
Let’s split up, but stay connected by the sound of our voices.
The old woman nods. They head in different directions. Torm can hear the Infinity Mother calling for her son, but soon her voice fades completely.
TORM
Hello? HELLO?
No response. Her attention is suddenly captured by the most intricately shaped door she has ever seen.
Golden Hall
Her compass flashes from her pocket. She pulls it out and sees an image of the round door now before her.
TORM
(to herself) What is through that door? Is it a trap, like the old woman warned?
Yet an overwhelming feeling that whatever lay beyond was connected to her sister draws her forward. As she approaches, the door opens like a blooming flower, revealing a long deck leading to a podium tower where a golden violin hangs suspended.
The room is shaped like a floorless cylinder, trimmed with the same ornate wood as the rest of the palace. Torm cautiously approaches the podium, steps onto it, and examines the violin. It has no top plate; its body is filled with intricate machine parts. Against her better judgment, she lifts it down for a closer look.
Seconds later, alarms blare.
Torm takes a step back toward the deck, but it pulls away from her, leaving her marooned on the tower. In the distance, the door blooms open while the entire room transforms into a complex music machine. A large holographic screen appears in front of her, displaying a ticking countdown over a deep electric hum. Empty music notation lines and a treble clef materialize on the screen.
She quickly finds the violin’s bow and takes possession of it, knowing she will be forced to play. Sight-read or die, she thinks. The countdown reaches its final ticks. Torm positions herself: 3… 2… 1.
The room erupts into an animation of moving machine parts and lights as she sight-reads rapidly appearing notes. The music is baroque in style, with a fast tempo and clear rhythm. She plays with precision, her fingers dancing across the strings.
The piece is challenging but manageable. When the notes stop, Torm lowers her arms — only for a new countdown to begin. A set of floating holographic MIDI controllers appears beside her. A second staff with unfamiliar notation appears below the treble clef.
The machine explodes into a mechanical rave as powerful dubstep fills the room. Torm struggles more with the complex dubstep notation and holographic controls but adapts quickly, using both hands to manipulate the controllers while holding the violin with her chin. After a few painful mistakes and force-field blasts, she masters the section.
The screen retracts and the room transforms again. This time, the change takes longer, giving Torm a brief rest. Holographic dossiers of countless trapped musicians appear around her — from ancient flutists to futuristic sound generators.
Two beams of light scan her body, creating two holographic clones of herself. The final countdown begins: 3… 2… 1.
The music becomes a furious hybrid of dubstep, classical, and modern orchestral, with wildly fluctuating tempos. Torm and her clones play in perfect sync, dominating the complex piece. Eventually, the clones disappear, leaving Torm to finish the solo performance. With flawless precision, she defeats the machine.
The arms fold away, and Torm is lifted through an opening in the ceiling into the heart of the palace: the Throne Room.
Throne Room
Her compass shows an image of a torch rod. When she turns around, she is startled to see the Queen of Collections’ dead body seated on her throne. Torm notices the torch rod in the Queen’s hand. She sets down the violin and carefully retrieves it. No alarms sound.
Unknown to Torm, a pair of cold red eyes awakens elsewhere in the palace. The Torch Guard has been alerted.
Nearby, Torm discovers a flash-burnt machine on a table with strange melted mechanical objects grown from glass plates — one shaped like a clock, another like a tiny waterwheel. Among them, she finds her father’s book. When she opens it, the pages are blank.
TORM
Blank?
Then she remembers her father’s words:
FIANTO SHEPHERD (V.O.)
Books are your people’s way of hiding things…
TORM
Not blank… hidden.
Using persistence of vision and the book’s symbols, she unlocks the hidden content. As she studies the diagrams, she realizes her father was building a machine capable of pulling physical objects out of dreams.
Suddenly, the Torch Guard bursts into the room and fires at her. Torm instinctively uses the book as a shield. It explodes, throwing her to the floor. The guard marches toward her, raising his weapon.
Just as he is about to strike, the Infinity Mother appears behind him and pulls his weapon down onto his own body. The Torch Guard shatters into a beautiful cloud of fiery dust.
INFINITY MOTHER
The devil’s gone, dear!
She helps Torm to her feet. Torm gathers the burnt remains of her father’s book.
TORM
My father’s book… I’ll never know what he could have taught me.
INFINITY MOTHER
Nonsense! His knowledge is in you. You don’t need a book to know what he thought. His genes will give blood to your lessons.
TORM
I was hoping it might contain answers about how he and my mother died.
Torm glances at the Queen’s glass eyes.
TORM
There is a way to know what happened!
She quickly builds a chemical projector using parts from the room. She removes the Queen’s undamaged glass eye, mixes it with her own tears, and activates the device.
A life-size hologram appears, showing the Queen torturing Torm’s parents and forcing her father to build the dream machine. In the end, Torm’s father secretly sabotages the machine by imagining death, causing it to overload and explode, killing both himself and Torm’s mother to prevent the Queen from weaponizing dreams.
Devastated, Torm shatters the Queen’s corpse with the torch rod. She falls to her knees in tears.
INFINITY MOTHER
It was the only way to save everyone. Your parents sacrificed themselves so the Queen could not steal the world’s dreams.
TORM
But why them? Why did they have to die?
INFINITY MOTHER
Die? There is no such thing as true death for souls like theirs. Blood dries, but love, charity, compassion, and family live on. Their story isn’t over… and neither is yours.
Torm’s compass flashes. She examines the throne and discovers it is made of Rainbow Stones — portals for travel.
INFINITY MOTHER
Thank you for helping bring my son back to me. I sent him home through a Rainbow Stone. He is with his father now.
TORM
What will you do?
INFINITY MOTHER
I will decollect this museum, even if it takes the last minutes of my old blood. So many families still have unfinished chapters.
Torm sits on the throne and touches the activation stone.
INFINITY MOTHER
Don’t be nervous. The colors are warm and without rush. You will be delivered safely.
Torm dissolves into a flash of rainbow light. In the midst of the transition, she sees the Infinity Mother’s glowing soul. The old woman then begins her work of restoring everything the Queen had stolen.
As she walks past pillars topped with unicorns bearing mirrors, Torm crosses the sky bridge and approaches a large set of doors. They swing open as she nears them. She continues forward until she reaches the grand gates of the palace. The doors stand open, glowing with warm light from within.
Curiosity overpowering her caution, she steps inside. The massive doors close silently behind her as she enters the main hall of the palace.

She quickly builds a chemical projector using parts from the room. She removes the Queen’s undamaged glass eye, mixes it with her own tears, and activates the device.
A life-size hologram appears, showing the Queen torturing Torm’s parents and forcing her father to build the dream machine. In the end, Torm’s father secretly sabotages the machine by imagining death, causing it to overload and explode, killing both himself and Torm’s mother to prevent the Queen from weaponizing dreams.
Devastated, Torm shatters the Queen’s corpse with the torch rod. She falls to her knees in tears.
INFINITY MOTHER
It was the only way to save everyone. Your parents sacrificed themselves so the Queen could not steal the world’s dreams.
TORM
But why them? Why did they have to die?
INFINITY MOTHER
Die? There is no such thing as true death for souls like theirs. Blood dries, but love, charity, compassion, and family live on. Their story isn’t over… and neither is yours.
Torm’s compass flashes. She examines the throne and discovers it is made of Rainbow Stones — portals for travel.
INFINITY MOTHER
Thank you for helping bring my son back to me. I sent him home through a Rainbow Stone. He is with his father now.
TORM
What will you do?
INFINITY MOTHER
I will decollect this museum, even if it takes the last minutes of my old blood. So many families still have unfinished chapters.
Torm sits on the throne and touches the activation stone.
INFINITY MOTHER
Don’t be nervous. The colors are warm and without rush. You will be delivered safely.
Torm dissolves into a flash of rainbow light. In the midst of the transition, she sees the Infinity Mother’s glowing soul. The old woman then begins her work of restoring everything the Queen had stolen.
SCENE SUMMARY
Torm arrives at the mysterious Eklipse Masters and is transported across a sky bridge to a breathtaking white palace. Drawn by curiosity, she enters the Palace of Collections — a vast, ever-shifting museum of stolen wonders filled with preserved organs, ancient artifacts, and forgotten treasures.
While exploring, she discovers an old dream-recording machine, stirring memories of the one she invented with her sister. Activating it, she meets the gentle Infinity Mother, an old woman trapped in the palace while searching for her son, Ori. The Infinity Mother explains that the palace is a trap created by the long-dead Queen of Collections, a greedy tyrant who stole anything of value. Ori was imprisoned for his rare Infinity Blood, which slows his aging.
Hearing Ori’s cries, they split up to search the halls. Guided by her compass, Torm enters the Golden Hall and triggers a deadly musical trial. A golden violin transforms the room into a complex machine, forcing her to perform increasingly impossible pieces — from fast baroque to intense dubstep, ending in a furious orchestral-dubstep battle against holographic clones of herself. Through skill and determination, she defeats it and rises to the Throne Room.
There, she finds the Queen’s corpse and her father’s hidden research. Using a chemical projector and the Queen’s glass eye, Torm learns the tragic truth: the Queen tortured her parents to build a machine that could turn dreams into reality. Her father sabotaged it by imagining death, causing an explosion that killed both him and her mother to protect the world.
Heartbroken, Torm destroys the Queen’s body. Comforted by the Infinity Mother, who reminds her that love and souls endure, Torm learns the throne is made of Rainbow Stones — magical portals. After the Infinity Mother frees her son and vows to release the Queen’s stolen treasures, Torm activates the throne and dissolves into rainbow light, continuing her journey into the unknown.
