In a surreal journey through space and subconscious, three intertwined characters—Alma, Vincent, and Billie—confront their repressed traumas and emotions, leading to transformative self-discovery as they navigate their fears of vulnerability and authenticity.
In Tears of Stardust, a surreal animated journey follows three characters—Alma, Vincent, and Billie—as they confront repressed traumas in a cosmic landscape. Alma, struggling with identity and grief over her father, crashes her bike and is transported into space, where she faces her painful memories. Vincent, a pressured rocket engineer, witnesses a rocket explosion and, suppressing his emotions, finds himself in a cosmic journey with his mentor, Professor Rocketina, to explore vulnerability. Billie, a young trans man grappling with acceptance, meets the eccentric Mimi, who pushes him to embrace his truth. As their paths intertwine, each character achieves a breakthrough: Alma reconciles with her past, Vincent learns to express his emotions, and Billie accepts himself. United by tears, they connect across the cosmos, ending in a climactic explosion of liberation and growth.
