This 2015 short film was presented by Dust in 2020.

A teenage boy and his younger brother are home alone in the cabin in the woods, waiting for the return of their father, who left a few days ago. One night a woman shows up in their home, and the brothers let her spend the night. We learn, vaguely, that aliens have landed on the planet at some point in the past, and there's apparently been war between them and the natives. Or something. At any rate, the boys and the young woman don't entirely trust each other, because the enemy can make themselves appear like them. And I think I'm not explaining any of this very well, but it's tricky, because there are a couple of major twists that I don't want to spoil. So I won't go any further in my attempt at explaining the plot. But anyway, I think it's a good film, and I think a lot of details are clever, in retrospect.
