Caution: spoilers

This short film was released on Disney+ on March 27, 2026. It runs about 12 minutes, but that includes an introduction by the director that runs about 2:20 before the short actually starts. It ends around the 9:35 mark, and everything after that is excess credits for other languages. One annoying thing I have to mention is that there's a commercial break in the middle of the short (or at least there was for me, but I suppose if you're paying for an ad-free account, that wouldn't happen). But I feel like it shouldn't happen on any account, partly because the short is so... short. There's no need for ads, especially since there was already a couple minutes of ads before it even started. More importantly, it interrupts a very dramatic and traumatic story. I don't mind ad breaks in longer works, at appropriate junctions, but there's no point in this short that would have been appropriate (except possibly between the introduction and the short itself).

All that being said, the animation is stunning. It's set in a beautiful cosmic, cloudy and starry locale. There is no dialogue, just music, which fits the moods of the short quite well. Two people, a man and woman, are apparently the personification of two stars, and the woman is pregnant. They're clearly very happy together, until they lose the baby, and they're both understandably devastated. The woman starts developing cracks in her body that represent her sorrow and brokenness. The man runs away, unable to deal with the loss. But eventually they reunite and heal, together. The way the cracks in both of their bodies end up glowing reminded me of kintsugi, and I wouldn't be surprised if that was intentional. (In fact, TV Tropes also mentions that very art.) And they do eventually have another child, who brings them joy.

Well, there. I've spoiled the whole thing, for you. But it's still totally worth watching. It didn't really give me deep feels, as it should have, but it was still sad, and happy, and altogether beautiful. And I'm sure it would affect others a lot more than it did me, especially if they've experienced the same loss as the people in the film. I think that objectively, the film deserves a higher rating than I would have given it if I actually did rate it, which is why I didn't. But I still recognize the quality of the film, and I'm glad to have seen it.

Oh, and Disney Wiki says this is a stand-alone part of the web series Short Circuit, but I see no signs of that. So who knows?
