This seven minute short film shows the other side of that conversation.

The film, called Aningaaq, is made by Alfonso Cuaron's son, Jonas Cuaron, and has made the rounds at film festivals.

Warner Bros. has submitted it for Oscar consideration in the live-action short category. If Aningaaq and Gravity both snag nominations, the Cuarons are poised to make Academy Award history — they will have created the first feature and short film drawn from the same material to be nominated together in the same year, according to Hollywood Reporter.

The film parallels the struggles of Gravity's Ryan Stone: it is a story of isolated human survival and loss.
