An accident has left a space explorer adrift in the void, his oxygen supply rapidly dwindling. Grasping the finality of his circumstances, he wants only to say some last words to his daughter. His frantic signals go unanswered, nobody is receiving the transmissions... except for a gaudy parrot in a fortune teller’s stall. A morbidly funny yet undeniably moving moment in time and space, from the director of CARGO (2020). – Rupert Bottenberg
