Odessa

It is the eve of the launch of the first spaceship to explore an exoplanet, a journey which will take well over a century.  Two people meet in unusual circumstances and share the evening together.  This understated slice of sci-fi is quite different in as much as you won’t see any spaceships and exoplanets in a short film which is about just that.  Written and directed by Cidney Hue, Odessa is a low-key and reflective look at one aspect of the human condition – the urge to explore.
