Episode description

In this week's episode, we tackle the profound theme of existential crisis in space with Aniara (2018) and High Life (2018). These films delve into the psychological and philosophical challenges faced by characters isolated in the vast, indifferent void of space.

Aniara portrays a spaceship's passengers as they struggle with the despair of being lost in the cosmos, while High Life follows a group of prisoners grappling with the meaning of their existence on a doomed mission to the outer reaches of the galaxy.

Join us as we discuss the intense existential themes in these gripping space dramas.
