Son & Moon (Diario de un astronauta)
Son & Moon is a unique and sensitive documentary that depicts Spanish astronaut Michael López Alegría's long-distance relationship with his seven-year-old son.
Providing a fascinating insight into the life of an astronaut fulfilling a mission at the International Space Station, the film also explores the difficulties he faces as a father attempting to maintain contact with his family.
Director Manuel Huerga (
Salvador Puig Antich) approaches the topic from an unusual point of view, skilfully intertwining the extraordinary and the everyday, spectacular space missions and intimate family conversations. A series of webcam exchanges between the astronaut in space and his son at home chronicle an affectionate dialogue that artfully portrays the most intimate side of life in orbit.
