You Are Space at the Cannes Film Festival

The Ukrainian film You Are Space will be shown at the Cannes Film Festival. The story follows a Ukrainian trucker, Andriy, who has been flying a space freighter for two years to the nearest black hole. Together with the onboard computer Maxim, who is programmed to entertain the pilot, they have to drop containers of nuclear waste into a black hole.

Suddenly, the planet Earth explodes, and Andrey is the only person in the universe until he is contacted by Catherine, a laboratory assistant at the French space station. Andrey and Katrin fly toward each other. This journey lasts three years, during which the characters fall in love. 

The Ukrainian film You Are Space is a co-production of Ukraine, France and Belgium. The Ukrainian producer is ForeFilms, produced by Volodymyr and Anna Yatsenko. 

“We are proud to be the first Ukrainian film selected for this program! And we hope that soon we will be able to finish the film and present it in the next Cannes edition”, – wrote Volodymyr Yatsenko.
