    • Synopsis
    • For six months, day after day, French astronaut Thomas Pesquet filmed his day to day life on board the station: his wanderings in zero gravity, his personal space where “he sleeps upright”, but also his extravehicular exit, the most dangerous and extraordinary moment of his mission. In this documentaryn presented as a logbook, he also explains his scientific experiments and discloses his more personal sentiments, which shows just how much this experience changed him. Through its incredible intensity, this film allows us to contemplate the blue planet’s beauty, to perceive its biosphere’s vulnerability and to dream of one day travelling to space.
