Winner of the Beyondfestival 2024 with her Film Itu Ninu
A young man, born and raised in the vastness of the galaxy, lands on an unknown planet. As he explores the landscape, he comes across an abandoned city, an overgrown cemetery, and lush vegetation.
Driven by a quiet sense of urgency, he contacts his spaceship’s command center and requests archival footage of the last humans to leave Earth. Slowly, he begins to realize that there is something strangely familiar about this place.
