While trying to rush home to his pet dog, a young African American man has a life-altering encounter with a racist police officer. He soon realizes he is stuck re-living this same awful day repeatedly. Now he must figure out a way to escape this nightmarish day with his life intact.

Check out the official trailer for "Two Distant Strangers," the new 30-minute-long time-loop drama that was recently nominated for Best Live-Action Short Film for this year's Academy Awards.

The film, which will debut in a couple of weeks on the streaming service Netflix, stars rapper Joey BadaSS as a cartoonist who needs to get home to take care of his dog but is brutally apprehended by a violent policeman. The day keeps repeating -- and so, he keeps dying at the hands of the police officer. That's until he figures out how to get home to his dog, without harm.

Written and co-directed by "The Daily Show" writer Travon Free and co-directed by Martin Desmond Roe (We Are the Champions, Wiz Khalifa: Behind the Cam), the short film also stars Zaria (The Super Pops) and Andrew Howard (Watchmen).

"Two Distant Strangers" premieres on April 9th on Netflix.
