Beskrivelse

Experience life from a breathtaking new perspective aboard the International Space Station. A crew of astronauts monitors our planet, gathering data and reflecting on the delicate balance of nature and human existence.

A poignant exploration of Earth and humanity through the eyes of those orbiting above.

Onboard the International Space Station, a group of astronauts carry out meteorological research, scientific tests, and push the boundaries of human endurance. Yet, their primary role is to observe. As they circle the Earth sixteen times daily, they witness a stunning array of natural wonders-from glaciers and deserts to mountain peaks and ocean swells.

Despite their physical separation, the astronauts remain deeply connected to the world below. News of a mother’s passing stirs thoughts of home, while the approach of a typhoon over an island brings both awe and fear for loved ones in its path. Their conversations revolve around the fragility of human life, intertwined with their hopes and anxieties.

Far from Earth, they feel an intense bond and a protective instinct toward the planet. This unique vantage point leads them to profound questions:

  • What does life mean without Earth?
  • What is Earth without humanity?
