Long Distance

Set in a future era of interstellar mining and cryogenic travel, where long gaps between rescue flights are a reality. crew members wake from cryosleep to find themselves far from help, forcing them to rely on limited resources and AI guidance. The time period emphasizes the loneliness and high stakes of space exploration.

The story unfolds on the Borealis, a deep-space mining vessel that sustains its crew during extended missions. After the asteroid strike, Andy awakens to a wrecked ship and a barren, alien planet where rescue may take years. The subsequent terrain and wreckage drive the survival drama, with the planet's hostile wilderness and creatures shaping every decision.

🚀 Survival

Survival is the central axis of the film. Andy fights to keep his oxygen levels stable, patching breaches and improvising with scarce supplies. The hostile environment, dangerous fauna, and isolation test his resolve and ingenuity. The persistence of life becomes a defining measure of the character.

🤝 Connection

The fragile bond between Andy and Naomi grows from radio exchanges and shared danger. Their conversations reveal personal traumas and hopes, turning mere survival into a mutual lifeline. The connection offers emotional fuel that sustains them through despair and fear. Trust becomes as vital as oxygen.

🧊 Isolation

Isolation amplifies the emotional weight of the story. Andy carries grief over a personal loss, while Naomi bears her own hidden struggles, both isolated in a desolate setting. The vast emptiness of space mirrors their internal loneliness. Yet this separation also sharpens their resolve to connect and endure.

🕷 Danger

The spider-like predators symbolize the ever-present danger of the planet. The characters must outsmart, outrun, and outmaneuver these creatures to survive. Tools like fireflies and an improvised escape plan illustrate clever problem-solving under pressure. The threat heightens tension and validates the protagonists' choices.
