Short film shows us the consequences of putting our heads in the cloud

If you've been watching BBC drama Years & Years, you're probably familiar with the concept of transhumanism - the use of technology to enhance human capabilities. 

The pinnacle of this man-machine fusion? Uploading your consciousness into a cloud and leaving your earthly body behind, to achieve a sort of immortality. It's a polarising prospect that'll either fill you with excitement or dread, which forms the basis of this brilliant animated short.

A collaboration between directing duo Kevin Roualland and Maxime Dupuy and electronic music producer Canblaster, the film is set in a dystopian future, where the opening of 'Cloudlife' - the first human digitalisation centre - sparks a blazing row between a couple with very different opinions. As a massive demonstration erupts and chaos ensues, can they ever be reunited?
