Duration: 80'
A journey to three of the world’s most important astronomical observatories, located in the most remote corners of the planet: the Atacama desert in Chile, the Grand Karoo in South Africa, and the island of La Palma, in the Atlantic Ocean. Worlds apart, but which dedicate the same attention to the sky above them and which, thanks to their presentation and grandeur, as different as they are fascinating, help us look up toward the stars, which are made of the same material as we are.

Declaration
film director
“For too long, the cosmic perspective has been absent from our daily lives. In a time marked by bloody conflicts, religious fanaticism, and national and ethnic chauvinism, we must find our ties with the cosmos once more and reawaken our planetary conscience. We must recover a cosmic gaze to understand that our planet is nothing other than a small dot lost in the vast ocean of space and time, and that humans must join together to find a shared pathway on this grain of dust floating in an infinite darkness.”
