The Astronauts' Bodies background

The Astronauts' Bodies

A 55-year-old father's health declines as a form of protest against his children's growing independence following their departure.

As his children prepare to leave the nest, a father in his 50s rebels by neglecting his own physical health. His 19-year-old son is part of a bed-rest study to advance space travel, while his daughter searches for her first love, drawn to a young man struggling with similar issues as her father. The film explores the themes of space travel, human desire, and the beauty of the human body.
