"Astronauts are no strangers to quarantine and isolation. They are subjected to confinement and intense training procedures to protect and prepare them for lengthy missions into space. The psychological effects of their experiences give them a unique vantage point to reflect upon the situation of 2020. For many people the global pandemic has meant being restricted indoors, having to find new ways of living and working. The world has changed dramatically. How do we reconcile the past and present and what is the best approach to move forward? When we venture into the unknown, with sounds and dreams and perspectives of a different nature, we are reminded to appreciate the little things and make the most of even challenging situations."
Director David Regos, 2020.
