U Are the Universe

24 Aug 2026 · 20:30 Freiluftkino Neue Zukunft, Revaler Straße 99, 10245 Berlin

Special screening (OmeU). Original title: Ти - космос / Ty - Kosmos; Ukraine/Belgium 2024; written and directed by Pavlo Ostrikov; starring Volodymyr Kravtschuk, Leonid Popadko & Alexia Depicker. Ukrainian/French with English subtitles (OmeU); 101 min; rated 12+. After the destruction of Earth, space trucker Andriy Melnyk is the last human in the universe—until he suddenly receives a radio signal from a French astronaut named Catherine, who is also stranded alone on a distant space station. Determined to find her, he sets off on a dangerous journey. With deep emotion and dark humor, this Ukrainian response to existential sci-fi films like 2001, Solaris, Dark Star, and Moon explores timeless themes: mortality, loneliness, longing, and a universal need for human connection—even brightening the film's nihilistic final note. Screening in cooperation with film distributor Drop-out Cinema — dropoutcinema.org/u-are-the-universe. Watch the trailer.
