I just want a bit of love.
Cosmonauts is a short animated film about the parallel story of three lonely passengers - Delfino, Zenf, and Rita - on the Pompelmo Express, an intergalactic cruise for singles in search of sex and pleasures. During the journey, each of them will confront their relationship with love and be surprised at what they are willing to do to experience it, even if only with the tip of their pinky finger.
Director’s statement
The longing and sincerity of outsiders is a theme that has always been very close to me, probably because I feel like one of them myself most of the time. In a society that constantly glorifies exceptional actions and exceptional people, I believe it is fair (and necessary) to turn the camera towards the majority, towards the supporting characters, towards average and lonely marginalized people, towards our weaknesses - towards us. Loneliness is one of the most universal human emotions. I would like to delve into this state, which despite its apparent negativity, can challenge us to seek alternatives and recognize what loneliness is not - recognizing love as an extremely precious experience.
