After the destruction of Earth, space trucker Andriy Melnyk is the last human in the universe-until he suddenly receives a radio transmission from Catherine, a French astronaut stranded alone on a distant space station. Determined to find her, he embarks on a perilous journey.

Blending heartfelt emotion with dark humor, this Ukrainian take on existential science fiction-evoking 2001: A Space Odyssey, Solaris, Dark Star and Moon-explores timeless themes: mortality, loneliness, longing, and the universal need for human connection, even brightening its nihilistic finale.
