Storyline

Maybe in the 1960s, maybe in the future. Seven astronauts wake up in a spaceship, not knowing where they come from or where they are heading to. As the ship operates by itself, they have plenty of time to meditate on matter, life and the universe. 

Cosmodrama is an original metaphor, the one of a group of human beings lost in space and passing time trying to find out more. Inspired by the narrative structure of the Christian Cross, because there is indeed a crucified in this story, the thinking man, abandoned by God, delivered to the unbearable finitude of his limited consciousness. They are dreamlike characters involved in comic situations, even grotesque portraying an increased perception of our world.
