Submitted to OnShow International Film Festival 2026Synopsis
In a future divided between ruined cities and the machine-run sanctuary of Aegis, safety comes at a price: citizens lease hours of their minds to the network. Beyond its walls, a woman and her companion search for her daughter, who has already entered the sanctuary. Reaching the gates means confronting a choice between survival and the freedom to remain yourself. THE YIELD is an AI-generated science-fiction drama about consent, memory and the human cost of a world that promises to take care of everyone.
