This 2018 short film was presented as a Dust Exclusive in 2020.

A married couple named Mark and Kara each have their own cargo spaceships. Kara gets a job that's supposed to take a month, but would make enough money for them to move somewhere better than where they are now. Six months later, she hasn't returned, so Mark goes searching for her ship. And he finally finds it, as well as another ship that had gone missing, which was sending out a distress signal. That's all I want to say about the plot, but it's a very well made film with an interesting ending.
