Of astronauts and ghosts

Pedro, the grandfather, Maria, the granddaughter, José, who works as a consignee, and a migrant mother in Spain: these four characters tell us a story that unfolds in the intimate universe of a single place, a labyrinth of relationships and revelations that becomes a surprising metaphor for the country's past and present within a family: a terminally ill grandfather, a youthful love story, the old man who refuses to die, the new man who struggles to come into the world... only one solution is possible...

Directed by Luis R. Vera, Of astronauts and ghosts leans on a strong ensemble — Héctor Silva, Tomás Arredondo — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 0.
