What it feels like
A group of academics say goodbye to a colleague who makes an extraordinary claim. Almost the entire film is a conversation, and the pleasure is in the questions it opens.
The catch
It is essentially a staged debate, with limited visual variety.
- Attention
- Engaged: a little attention helps
- Pace
- Unhurried
- Overall tone
- Bittersweet or mixed
These are what.stream’s editorial assessments. Overall tone does not describe an ending or guarantee the absence of distressing material.

Moon
Routine work on a remote lunar station slowly becomes harder to explain. A contained setting and a focused performance let the mystery feel personal rather than spectacular.
