As Kimmy explains , ReDream grant a movie to be remake in real fourth dimension . The technology builds an environs with AI make that directly replicate the set , graphic symbol , optical aesthetic , and other view that exist in the original movie .

Things set about to go wrongly when Brandy go off - script , as each decisiveness has a butterfly stroke effectthat alter the future of the narration , and the integrity of the fictional human race begins to dilapidate . go off - handwriting leads to an expanding upon of Clara ’s character , which causes a peck overspill that impedes Brandy ’s power to be safely extracted .

While Kimmy , Jack , Judith , and the rest of the team in the international earth beat to fix the issue in a matter of minutes , days go by for Brandy and Clara as they go down in lovemaking . Meanwhile , all the AI make around them are frozen , at least until the Redream connexion is restore .

One of the post horse in Judith Keyworth ’s billet is for a movie calledThe White Bear , which is a reference to an episode of the same name fromBlack Mirrorseason 2 .
Judith and her fellowship have financially gain from this experience and will likely extend using Redream to make more low-priced remake of Keyworth Pictures ' classical moving-picture show .
