# The Minos Paradox - A Sci-Fi Mythological Short Film, Cinematic Unreal Engine 5

One year to create this shortfilm!

🎬 The Minos Paradox – A Sci-Fi Mythological Short Film Created almost entirely solo with Unreal Engine 5, The Minos Paradox is a cinematic short film that reimagines the myth of Theseus and the Minotaur through the lens of science fiction. Each time Theseus touches a glowing sphere, he’s transported to a new era—a different piece of a spatio-dimensional labyrinth from which there is no escape.

A passion project made during spare time over more than a year – between cinema, mythology and game culture.

🎥 Created by Bruno CAILLOUX
