U ARE THE UNIVERSE

Meet The East

Space trucker Andriy Melnyk lives all by himself aboard a spaceship transporting radioactive waste from Earth to Jupiter’s moon Callisto. Immersed in his record collection, he savours the solitude of his trucker existence. Alas, when the Earth explodes one day, Andriy suddenly becomes the last human, in outer space no less – and he is suddenly overcome by a longing for human intimacy. U ARE THE UNIVERSE is Pavlo Ostrikov's debut film. His Ukrainian team has managed to make an entertaining genre film featuring scathing humour in the midst of a war – an impressive achievement.
