Konstantin Bronzit returns to take the viewers to space again. His Oscar-nominated animation of 2014 was about two friends who wanted to become astronauts. This time the director shows a story of a woman and her son who is born … in a space suit. The boy's dreams of a space flight are toned down by his mother as space has already taken someone away from her. A moving animation about growing up, desires, and the destiny that cannot be deceived. It is also a story of love, sacrifice and loneliness told with sensitivity and subtle humour. The winner of the Silver Dragon Award for the best animated film in the international short film competition at 60th KFF.
