[edit] Introduction

An astronaut crashes on an alien planet -- but by some miracle he is quickly able to contact Earth and speak directly to the space agency behind his mission. Unfortunately, twenty years have passed for them and his former lover is now married and the director of the agency.

"As technology evolves, the means to communicate with each other become increasingly sophisticated. But will these means ever be sufficient to bridge the gaps between us... or will they only serve to pull us further apart?"

[edit] Closing narration

"The distances between us, so vast and so close, are so easily bridged. Not by what we make... but by what we feel."
