This 2018 short film was presented by Dust in 2021.

So, how to describe this? There's an asteroid that begins orbiting the Earth, and it affects some people by altering their perception of time. On the night the asteroid first showed up, a man named Bill was out at a bar with some friends, and went home with one of them, a woman named Cora. I wasn't sure if they were already a couple before that night, or if that was just the start of their relationship. But anyway, Bill wakes up the next morning and Cora is very pregnant, which naturally surprises him, though to Cora it's perfectly natural, as she has experienced a long stretch of time that Bill hasn't... or at least doesn't remember. As the short progresses, he loses more and more chunks of time, until many years have gone by. He's obviously been affected by the asteroid, though Cora doesn't seem to know or believe that.

Anyway, it's a very tragic sort of story, very well told.
