An old Cosmonaut lives the same kind of life now in his flat in a concrete panel apartment building as he did in his youth in a space station. As before, he still carries out heroic missions and misses his close relatives, who he left behind on his home planet. His close relatives see the situation altogether differently. Is this old man capable of coming to grips with the norms that apply in society? A cosmonaut will always be a cosmonaut. To the very end.

Director – Kasper jancis
He has been interested since childhood in drawing comic
strips and writing stories for which he made illustrations
himself. His first moving pictures came into being in the
corners of his school notebooks. Later in his school
years, his brother’s friend, who was a member of
a film club, helped him make a short plasticine puppet
animated film.
This was followed by a two-year period as a working youth, which was not particularly educational, but was brimming with adventures. During that time he began working systematically with music. He has been part of the creative core of several rock groups, written song lyrics, made arrangements and created tunes. He enrolled at the Tallinn Pedagogical University in 1996.
