OtherLife

In this Australian sci-fi, Ren invents a therapeutic virtual reality drug named OtherLife, only to become an unwitting guinea pig, trapped in a prison inside her own mind by people with other plans for the drug's use.

'Inventing a revolutionary new drug, software engineer Ren Amari (Jessica de Gouw, Cut Snake) changes the way that humanity experiences time. One dose, and seconds feel like hours inside the user’s head. She designed it to save her comatose brother, but her business partner has other plans: selling the drug to the government, who want to use it to imprison criminals in their own brains.' (Melbourne International Film Festival).
