Synopsis

A young woman elects to have her dead father's consciousness transferred into a smart speaker, but finds it makes the grieving process even harder.

"Transference looks at the human condition of unconditional love lost through death and makes us question what it is to be alive. Throughout history humans have always tried to conquer death and even reverse it from happening. Transference plays with this theory and allows us to see what the near future may be like with this ability." Aletha Shepherd, director.
