A Rogue Time Protector is confronted by his ex-partner in order to preserve the space-time continuum by stopping him from saving his daughter's life from her untimely death.

The story begins in California in 1847 with Aeolus (Jeramy Felch) hiding objects in an open field. An intro with tensional music, technologic objects, a cell phone, and no-dialogues drives us to an instant curiosity about the plot of the short film.

Following Aeolus’ actions, he seems impatient, trying to escape from something or someone. Until we know the reason: he wants to run away from his ex-partner, Noah, a Time Traveler like himself.

They had a good relationship master-student in the past. However, their association is being eclipsed by Aeolus choice. He has decided that saving his daughter’s life is more important than preserving the space-time continuum.

Noah will try to persuade Aeolus that he’s making the wrong choices. But as the drive unfolds, we notice Aeolus’s motives are strong enough to even put his own life in danger as his ex-partner will not take chances with him anymore.

A gun appears on screen in Noah’s hand. Will he use it? Aeolus will save his little girl?

Written and Directed by Johnny Baca “Of The Essence” is a Sci-Fi Short Film that explores one of the most intense ways of love and the actions that a father can do for his daughter.
