A short film recounting the travels of a lonely astronaut confronted by the unknown. Unfolding as a mystery, it becomes a carefully subtle, autobiographical examination of the feeling of loneliness and the existential issue of not understanding life on earth and ones place among it.
“A staggering achievement of craft and ambition. Willem van der Zanden's vision lands with breathtaking precision.”
“Every frame feels alive. The Astronaut is the rare release that takes its audience seriously.”
