U Are the Universe (2024) Movie Script
Greetings!
If you're watching this video,
youve been selected as a pilot
to the KOSMOVTORRESURS.
The biggest nuclear waste disposal company
in the Eastern Europe!
In 150 years of using nuclear energy
humanity has accumulated
more than 3 billion
tons of wastes in
temporary storage facilities.
Due to the increasing
number of earthquakes,
radiation destroys life
on our planet.
But it can be fixed now.
On our cargo ship OBRIY
you have to transport nuclear waste
from Earth to Jupiters moon, Callisto.
The round-trip takes four years:
two years there
and two years back.
But dont worry,
youre going to enjoy this trip
through our charming galaxy!
At the pilots disposal there are:
a lounge,
gym,
kitchen,
bedroom,
and, of course,
complete solitude!
And so that you are not bored,
you will be entertained
by the robot Maxim,
which is set up to cheer you up.
Max, the floor is yours!
Hello partner.
What would happen
if you pee in a vacuum?
There will be pee in a vacuum.
By the way, you can always adjust
the level of humor to suit your needs.
Have a nice flight!
And remember:
You make our lives better.
KOSMOVTORRESURS -
Dirty work for a clean planet!
And there is another joke.
Two robots are sitting in a bar.
And the first one
orders a shot of oil.
And get this...
Hey Melnyk. Are you bored?
We have some news
to cheer you up...
So, Vadym Mishchun from
Kosmonadzor calls me and says,
"Get this, we detected
a flying object near Uranus."
And I go, "No way!"
And he goes, "For real."
"A long one, metallic.
Just like your waste container."
Fuck.
Melnyk, what the fuck,
are you special or something?
Have your brains
completely melted in space?
You understand that
this is a criminal case?
If I find out that it was you,
who pushed the container
in the wrong direction last time...
Say goodbye to your job...
I mean, thats some audacity
to say nothing to anyone about your mishap,
and get on a new flight.
You couldve called,
"So and so, Palych,
this motherfucking thing -
well, I screwed up."
But you didn't say a word...
Anyways,
while you're flying back home,
look for a new job...
I'M THE BOSS HERE
Andrukha, have you turned on
reverse engines?
We have to move closer to Callisto
according to the protocol.
Really?
Well, its ok,
they wont fire me for the second time.
But I don't really want to get
an extra dose of radiation.
You might miss and then
we'll pollute the outer space.
All right, keep your mouth shut,
cause Im really gonna
send these containers
somewhere in the
ass-end of nowhere.
Well...
Do you want me
to tell you a joke then?
I want you to shut up
and let me focus.
Well...
The trajectory is ready.
I'm starting undocking.
Warning on screen:
Undocking malfunction.
Fuck, this old ship
is for anything but a space flight.
Headquarters, OBRIY speaking.
Automatic undocking
doesn't work in the third container.
I request permission
to go into outer space.
And...?
And for some reason,
our video connection has died,
so I'll proceed on the radio.
Lying through his teeth
It really is broken.
Let's drop the details...
See, Andrukha.
Fate does not like liars.
Oh, God...
Remind me to throw this
motherfucking chair out of here.
And who exactly is
The mother of fucking?
A very wise woman
who desparately needs a chair.
Thats it.
Tell me when they respond
from Earth.
Want to hear a joke?
Nah
Maxim!
What happened?
Yes, Andrukha.
I'm just checking the data I received...
Ohhh...
Ohhh?
What does that mean?
Well...
I don't know
how to deliver bad news,
as I was created
to cheer everyone up.
Maxim, are you gonna
tell me or not?
Yes.
Ill try to say it
in the funniest way possible.
It looks like
the Earth has exploded!
Is that one of your
dumb-ass jokes?
This is a joke, yes?
Maxim?
I'm sorry, Andrukha.
The Earth isn't there anymore.
And that's not all.
If I calculated correctly,
the speed of the debris is about
10 thousand kilometers per second.
That is, we have 24 hours left.
Andrukha!
Any orders?
Maybe changing the route?
These shreds are dangerous
for anything alive.
The probability of your death
is very high,
and my goal is
to protect your life.
Andrukha!
Andrukha.
GOLDEN OPERA COLLECTION
Did you come to say goodbye?
Well, I am supposed to serve
as a witness to your will.
But...
I guess we can skip that one.
Do you want to listen
to some music?
No.
That's nothing...
Doesn't matter.
What are we going to do,
Andrukha?
I don't know.
I have never had shreds of a planet
flying towards me.
At least we can
enjoy the spaceview.
One last time.
Wait, Callisto!
How far is it?
72 thousand kilometers.
Do you think
Yeah, we can hide in its shadow.
It's like a shield in open space!
It could work, couldn't it?
Well, if we take into account
all the data we have
and the fact
that Callisto is not in
You don't have to
show off right now!
Can we make it or not?!
If we go on rocket thrust,
we can make it.
Probably...
It's hard to calculate.
Damn, what else can we do?
Let's go to Callisto.
And if we make it,
were gonna have a damn good story.
But well have
no one to tell it to.
How long till we get there?
About 20 minutes
and OBRIY will be behind the...
Are you really trying
to eat the whole thing?
Why?
I'm not gonna die starving.
You know, even people
sentenced to death
get to choose their last meal.
Damn it
Yo, where do we have
those canned sardines?
Do you really want
those sardines too?
Dont rush yourself.
I can wait.
In the cargo section.
The blue box on the right.
Thats better!
Max, what was that?
The debris are
moving faster than
I thought. I think my
calculations were wrong.
- How is this possible?
- You're a computer!
- I said, "about 24 hours".
- I can explain it in more detail.
Max, do something,
or youll be explaining that
to Jesus Christ personally!
We got hit pretty hard
by one of the shreds.
Are you okay?
It doesn't matter.
Switch to manual control.
Warning! Critical damage.
Warning! Critical damage.
Andrukha,
I gave you Dexocetrin
for cleaning the wound,
not for drinking.
Why didn't you tell me
it's 57% alcohol?
This is damn good!
I thought you would be
feeling sad.
Sad? Why?
Am I dead or something?
Nah!
So why would I be crying then?
Well, your whole species
has just vanished, Andrukha.
You're the last human
in the entire Universe.
Yeah, can you imagine?
Not the President of America,
not Superman,
but me, Andriy Melnyk,
a dude from Khmelnytskyi.
I see...
I made the damage report, but.
I guess this is the wrong time.
Nah, keep going!
I'll turn the volume down.
I had to block out the cargo section
due to the decompression,
so we are short on food.
How much do we have?
Enough for about 16 months,
but if we stretch it out...
No, no, no,
I'm not gonna stretch out anything...
I'd rather die from a gastritis
than hunger.
What else?
Also, the debris
has destroyed the gym.
Pretty sure I can
get by without it.
One more thing,
OBRIY lost one engine
and we lost connection
with the reactor cooling system.
Maxim, could you open
the birthday box for me?
Andrukha, your birthday is
in five months.
It's not allowed.
Maxim, Earth is fucked up,
there are no instructions!
I'm your only boss from now on.
You said, I'm the only man alive.
It's like a second birthday for me.
Robinson Crusoe.
It's never been
that freaking messy here.
Let me sleep.
It would be great
if you helped me clean up.
Maybe you should get up?
Maybe you should eat shit?
Technically I cant eat,
I am a computer.
You'll end up me getting out of bed,
but you'll regret it!
Get out of here!
Mykola Hnatyuk
and his classic hit "Podillia, Podillia"!
What a blast! You dig the joke?
And I'm here hosting
our SOLARIS radio station,
the best station in the Universe
of the last month.
Since all the presidents are dead
and we can't reach anyone,
I, Andriy Melnyk,
am officially taking over
the power over humanity.
From now on, anyone who has survived
has to serve me.
Captain Galaxy!
Oh, by the way,
if I may take this opportunity
to address Alyona Petruk,
who once told me,
Hope youll die.
I don't want to brag or anything,
but I can't hear you right now, Alyona.
In the meantime,
let's talk to the last person
in the whole world.
Howdy, Andriy.
Hello to you too!
How's life on the spaceship?
Not so bad.
Like in the God's bosom.
This water distilled from urine
is simply awesome.
Really?
I see
And what are you gonna do next?
Any ideas?
I havent given it a thought yet.
Maybe I'll just fly somewhere,
look at what's left of the Earth.
Maybe I'll take a piece as a souvenir.
Or just try to do splits.
There is plenty of time...
What a nonsense
Forward. Backward.
Forward. Backward.
Super! Dont stop!
Smile!
Decided to work out a bit?
Yeah,
missing the gym.
There's no internet,
so that's the only thing I can watch.
There has to be
an interesting documentary about space.
Oh, shut up! Look into the porthole,
here's your documentary about space.
(in Andriys voice)
I am Andriy Melnyk.
Im the last man in the universe.
When I speak, every mother of fucking
should listen to me, and keep silent.
What did I tell you?!
Never ever synthesize my voice!
I'm so done with you.
Is it so hard to just hang in the corner
without making noises?
Nah, you gotta be fucking annoying. You're
a computer, you don't need to talk...
Listen, Andriy. Ive got
You're doing this again!
Why you gotta answer
back to everything?
Andrukha, theres
What Andrukha? What Andrukha?!
Why the hell are you calling me Andrukha?!
Am I your buddy or something?
What do you want, huh?!
You've just received that?
Yes, Andrukha.
From where?
I dont know, Andrukha.
The sender is unknown.
Maybe you could use a translator?
Yeah
anyone for a long time.
Ive finally fixed the antenna.
I heard your messages.
Our planet no longer exists...
Its horrible...
I thought I was left all alone.
I look forward to your reply.
The message came
from the orbit of Saturn.
It looks like
you're not the only survivor.
Looks like it
Her voice seems nice.
You think so?
Sounds to me
like she's a heavy smoker.
So I could move the queen to C3.
Nah, too easy
Ill go the bishop to A3.
Is this your final move?
Yeah.
Rook to D4.
Checkmate.
Are you serious?
It was meant to be a friendly game.
Lower your level to a third one.
Looks like your French girl is bored.
Probably wants
to thank you for the answer.
What have you told her?
Did you call her?
- Well
- Oh dear God!
There is one more
survivor of your species,
and you didn't even bother
to message her back?
Cause I didn't know what to say.
I had to pull my thoughts together
and think about it.
It takes time.
Oh God, who am I living with
Go listen to the message
and then reply to it.
Hey you! I do what I want to!
Andrukha,
I'm not really human-savvy.
But it seems to me
it's not the time to be an introvert.
Are you all right?
If you can hear me, say something.
At least a simple "Hi".
I'm curious to know about who you are,
and where you are located.
We might be the last people
in the whole Universe.
We need to stay in touch.
It's obvious!
Well, I'm probably stupid,
because for me its not obvious.
If you need some help, just say it.
I don't know if there's
anything I can do,
since you're near Saturn
and I'm right next to Jupiter.
It's 700 million kilometers away,
and that's a fucking lot.
I wanted to reply to you but I just
didn't have time.
And I didnt know
that you need a response right away!
If you don't like
that I'm taking so long to respond,
then talk to someone else.
Oh... I forgot there is no one else.
Hey...
I'm sorry about that.
It was in the heat of the moment.
I'm not good at speaking.
I only wanted to say
that its a pity that
you're really far.
So... I don't like it
when someone is mad at me.
So again, sorry.
And let me know
if you're not mad at me.
Just so I know you're not mad.
Am I mad, huh?
You're asking if I'm mad?
Youre sick?
Im shocked!
I'm kidding...
It's stupid to say you're kidding
after you make a joke.
But you can't see my face, so...
I thought itd be better to explain.
Maybe we can start
from the beginning.
It would be nice if you could
tell me a few words about yourself.
And I can talk a bit about myself.
I don't know...
I don't want to live
the rest of my life alone.
Why don't we talk?
There is nothing else to do anyway.
Oh, yes why is your video
communication not working?
Maybe because I dont want
to talk to anyone
Well, Im Andriy Melnyk,
a long-haul trucker.
I'm delivering radioactive waste
to Callisto from Earth...
For about ten years now.
The work is nice
Its simple.
Two years there,
two years back.
Plus, you get paid for being in space.
What could be better?
Well, at least something.
Thanks.
You already know a bit about me.
I'm Catherine Boucart, a meteorologist,
watching the atmosphere of Saturn.
It sounds boring,
and believe me, it is.
My co-worker
was just on his way to Laplace,
and was supposed to replace me
here in two weeks.
And I would go home...
But I guess
thats not going to happen...
So, you better tell me
how was your day.
My day?
I dont know
The usual.
The usual?!
The message takes three hours
to get delivered
and all you can say
is "the usual"?
I don't know
how you used to do it,
but in France, if we ask someone
about their day,
it means we want to hear
something interesting.
Alright, I get it.
I got up, washed up,
ate, made myself some tea,
listened to some vinyls,
made some tea again.
I don't really have much
happening here.
Im not listening.
Wait, are you listening to vinyls?
In space?
That is so cool!
Oh, I hope you dont mind me
being way too informal with you?
Of course, Catherine, no problem.
We are old friends!
Well, these records
are not mine...
It's a long story.
But I like them.
It's cool when you can
touch the music.
And when I look at them,
they remind me of the planets.
Sounds stupid, but I don't know...
There's something about it.
Not stupid at all.
I also like vintage,
especially paper books.
Space is just
the perfect place to read.
Even long descriptions of nature
become interesting here.
Are you reading anything now?
Nah, you gotta be kidding!
Should I sit next to the porthole
with a book, trying to look smart?
No, thanks.
Reading isnt really my thing.
You better tell me
where are you from.
I'm from Brittany,
but Im living in Paris now.
Quite a noisy city for me,
and there are a lot of tourists...
However, it is not easy to get a
cosmology job in my hometown, St. Brieuc.
It's the same with me.
I live in Kyiv now,
but I originally come from Khmelnytskyi.
And I'm sure no Frenchman
knows about this town,
but we got the biggest
market in Ukraine there.
Of course, Ive heard
about Khmelnitskyi!
There are some buildings
and some cars...
Well, I know nothing about it
And by the way,
it was a joke again.
You have to get used to the fact
that Im the queen of dumb jokes.
They are not so dumb.
Let me tell you a really dumb joke...
What will happen
if you pee in vacuum?
You'll never guess...
It's so stupid
that you can die of laughter.
I'm sorry
Im pretending that everythings fine,
but its not
Everyone I knew died.
All of them.
The whole world.
And it might have helped
to accept my own death...
But I'm so scared of dying...
My orbital station
is slowly losing altitude,
and in a few months,
I will burn alive in Saturns atmosphere.
I don't know what happened to me.
I just want to talk to someone about it.
I promise I'll be
the queen of dumb jokes again.
Now I just...
Well... Whyre you...
You don't have to be so upset.
You would have died anyway.
Sooner or later.
Probably bad support.
I havent been to many funerals.
All that dead bodies
and funeral wreaths
Well... It doesnt matter.
You just don't cry, okay?
Listen, what if I drop by
and help you out?
Theres nothing to do anyway
Can you stop this, please?
Thank you.
Hey, don't distract me, please.
Tell me, Andrukha.
We are buddies, right?
I have already told you.
Im curious.
Well, be curious quietly.
Alright, alright, alright
Were just talking.
About...?
About life, about this, about that.
Why do you care?
Did she ask anything about me?
Oh, she needs you
like a hungry person needs to shit.
I knew it.
You're jealous.
Its like that joke
about a black hole.
An American, a Ukrainian and a Japanese
flew into a black hole.
And inside, there are
all the missing things
Wait... Will you really be able
to fly to me?
That would be just wonderful!
But are you sure?
If so, I'm happy!
Cant wait to see you!
Hey, did I get everything right?
Are you going to fly to Catherine?
Okay, I don't want to sound boring,
but how are you going to fly
a broken ship to Saturn?
Well, you said yourself
that the engines work alright.
- Everythings fine.
- Only three engines are working...
And I didn't say everythings fine.
This is very dangerous!
We do not know if OBRIY will fly at all.
Did you forget how we got hit?
I didnt, I just wanna make a
- little trip.
- A little trip?!
Andrukha, its not a trip
to a next street!
We are in open space!
Yes, its kinda far
Its more then just kinda far.
I can't let you risk your life.
Maxim, dont fucking start!
Whats there to risk?
You can wipe your arse
with a life like mine!
I can help this woman.
She needs me...
So maybe it's time
to do something good,
at least at the end of the world.
But you can die.
Yes, I can.
Did you see
how many people died?
Just like that.
People died in the shower...
watching a series
working in the office...
At least, I can save a person.
I know it sounds stupid to a computer,
but it's important to me.
So, are you with me or not?
You drive me crazy
Im in.
Thank you, Max.
Now were real buddies.
But we need to see
what's with the reactor.
For sure.
If somethings wrong
with the cooling system,
then we'd be flying
on a nuclear bomb.
- Don't worry...
- I'll go out into space and look at it.
And if theres something wrong,
then were not flying anywhere.
I promise.
Listen, Andrukha.
Can I tell you a joke then?
No!
But you are my buddy.
I take my words back.
- You cant do this.
- Well, I just did.
Ok, Im here.
Andrukha, how is it?
Is everything okay?
Yeap.
As I said, everything looks fine.
Lucky we are.
Oh... And be careful.
Theres spacecraft debris
coming towards us.
I figured we can
Give me a second.
I want to relax
Go ahead.
We might not make it.
Ion engines will take
a long time to gain speed,
and the distance is way too long.
My relaxation failed...
I told you we won't make it.
Let's just forget about...
Wait, wait!
Would it help if we did
a gravitational maneuver near Jupiter?
It may work,
but in order to accelerate to the right
speed, we must be close to its atmosphere.
Exactly, Oberth effect!
If we fly down as much as we can
and then just gun it,
then it will work.
Turn on the engines - we fly to Jupiter.
We just gotta have enough fuel
for the impulse.
And enough brains
not to do stupid things...
Did I mention that it's dangerous?
Max! Everythings gonna be fine.
By the way,
how do you like my new chair?
Cool, isn't it?
For Gods sake!
Catherine,
do you think I can make
a plasticine figurine of you?
I know I hardly can make it alike
but its better than
talking to the air.
You asked me
what I was doing here all the time.
Well, I make plasticine figurines.
Describe yourself,
and please don't say no,
because I don't want to wait three hours
just to hear "no".
Are you for real?
I don't know if I can...
Alright, alright.
Well, I have big eyes.
Not like bulging.
Well, something between
light astonishment and shock.
My nose... is quite ordinary.
Id say straight.
The ears are just awful.
They stick out like those elf ears.
My lips... They are rather thin.
But not too thin, as if
they are non-existent.
It's kinda hard...
like making a police suspect sketch.
Dont worry, you're doing great!
Besides, I can always
add some gloss.
I once wanted to become an animator,
make cartoons,
but it didn't work out.
My mother was a sculptor.
It was so cool to watch her at work,
and how she brought figurines to life.
In my childhood I liked to watch pigeons.
My father had a dovecote -
it looked like a small castle.
I could watch the pigeons
fly over me for hours.
I wanted to catch them so much...
Not to play with them.
It just seemed to me that I would
hold happiness in my hands.
As if they could pass a little of it to me.
Nonsense, of course,
but I would love to go back to Earth,
stand there with my dad,
and watch happiness
flying in the air one last time.
Too bad it's just a dream...
Pigeons...
Maybe youll see them again
Go lower.
Turn on the reverse engines.
Well...
I guess now it's too late
to talk you out of it.
Its pulling us in pretty fast...
Maybe it's time?
Not yet.
We need maximum speed.
Andrukha, its either now or never. I dont
want to burn in the atmosphere of Jupiter.
I don't want that either.
On three.
One, two, three.
Started?
- That's weird...
- There was still some fuel left.
Cool! If we don't get out
of the orbit now...
Well, who's your daddy now?
No one.
Im a computer.
I dont have parents.
Hello Andriy.
Ive been thinking
that we know little about each other,
and youre flying to save me.
I came across an article
in a magazine by chance today.
Not that I read magazines at all, but...
In a nutshell, these are five questions
about how to get to know a person better...
We can answer them together -
you and me.
What do you think?
Cool twist of fate, right?
You may thank my Strasbourg diploma in
cosmology, and Decembers ELLE magazine.
So yes, let's start...
The first question...
What is your favorite book?
Well, I already know that.
None.
If you had a superpower...
Some kind of bullshit.
Yeah, okay...
What would you give your life for?
Waiting for reply.
Well, Ill try.
Id probably give my life
to see my parents again.
They died when I was fifteen.
I was in school and
no one was really concerned
about those earthquakes back then.
They told it to be
a temporary thing...
The only thing left
of our house was
a little corner
with a record player and records.
I listened to every recording
except for one.
And not just because it's an opera.
Parents just bought it,
brought it home, but
never had time to listen to it.
So neither had I.
I can't do it.
I just feel like if I listen to it,
I will lose the connection to them and...
I'll stay alone
Oh, Im sorry...
I was going to say
that I would give my life for a tiramisu...
But it doesn't sound
as cool as I thought.
Maybe, let's forget
about these questions?
But now we know more
about each other.
You are a normal person,
and I am a fool,
who will die for a tiramisu.
Oh wow
What?
Is something around my mouth?
No.
Just...
Youre smiling.
So what?
What
Looks like youve fallen in love, Andrukha.
Bullshit!
Im smiling because
Because I want to smile, thats all.
You can say what you want, Andrukha,
but I see when a man falls in love.
Yeah... Now everything is clear.
No, is not!
Smart ass.
I could disconnect you,
and then we see...
A nuclear reactor exploded.
Switching to emergency batteries.
OBRIY is spinning with a G5 overspeed.
Im leveling rotation.
Stop...
What?
We need to maintain the speed
until we... get to...
Andrukha!
Is everything okay?
Yes.
If you dont take into account
that the nuclear reactor has exploded
and we are out of engines.
Is there anything
you want to tell me?
What do you mean?
Maybe the reason
why the reactor exploded?
Well, okay.
There was only one radiator grid.
But it should have been fine.
You shouldve told me.
I am responsible for the ships safety.
If I had told you,
you wouldn't have let me fly to Catherine.
Correct!
Now, we got no engines.
We only have emergency batteries.
We need to save ourselves!
Where are we now?
Two million kilometers from Saturn,
the discrepancy angle was insignificant.
Well, at least I can speak to Catherine
without this delay.
Of course, now you can say without delay
that we will not save her.
Perfectly convenient,
and, by the way,
no one will save us either.
Were all going to die.
Hello
Hi.
How? Wait
Are you nearly here yet?
Almost
I can't believe it.
We finally speak normally.
Without these endless monologues.
Pay attention,
I always tried to speak briefly.
So are you somewhere close?
Or still on your way?
Im on the way
Ill be soon.
I just can't believe
you came here for me.
Come on.
Im just...
Im just sure that there must be a
bottle of great wine at the French station.
Listen A New Year is coming
the day after tomorrow.
Really?
Its already now?
Ive stopped counting the days here.
Yeah So I thought,
maybe we'll celebrate it together.
I dont know
OK. Forget it. I just
Okay!
Wait
Did you say okay?
Yes.
But I can't imagine
what that would look like.
Just trust me!
Is it okay that I started eating?
Go ahead.
I'm just not really excited
about this porridge.
Its not something Id like to eat
for a New Year celebration.
Yeah...
You'd probably kill for a croissant now.
Well...
Croissants aren't the only thing we eat.
Well, yes, Im sure there are
all kinds of cheese and baguettes...
Onion soup.
Of course, onion soup
is surely my favorite.
Listen...
I realized that I never asked...
Did you have
anyone in your life?
You know... Well, there.
On Earth?
Yes, there was.
But he didn't like my job very much,
or me being away all the time.
So we broke up.
Men dont like women
who fly into space.
Of course.
And you?
No... I've been alone
for quite a long time.
Everyone thought I was a weirdo.
I hope you don't think
I'm some kind of pervert.
I mean I don't want you to think
that Im flying to you for you know...
I just like talking to you,
and obviously I'm a man,
you're a woman,
but trust me, Im not fucked-up.
Andriy. Andriy!
I know. Everything is good.
Are you sure?
Yes.
Great.
Oh, I almost forgot!
Are you serious?
Voyage?
Dont you have anything
more suitable for New Year?
Well...
It's the only French song I have.
I spent a long time
choosing the right music to say...
I think I love you.
I was thinking of getting
a slightly different reaction. But...
No-no... It's just...
I didn't expect to hear that.
Now youve heard it.
What do you think?
This This is nice.
Nice And thats it?
Yes. This is very flattering
I mean, I dont know
what to say in such situation
Well, for example say.
"I love you too".
Got it.
Listen, it's just hard.
We havent even seen each other.
I get it.
Can we talk about it
when you get here?
I won't make
it! I can't!
My nuclear reactor exploded,
I don't know how to save you now.
Why didnt you tell me right away?
Yeah, this is the first thing
you want to tell a person!
Hi, Catherine! Youre gonna die soon!
Happy New Year!.
Is this what you wanted to hear?!
Dont you shout at me!
Should I rejoice?!
We will come up with something.
Theres nothing to think about.
Its over.
I just tried in vain
Well, then you shouldnt
have bothered flying.
Oh, I get it now.
I didn't know what to do
at the end of my life.
Now at least I know why I
fucking flew 600 million kilometers...
Oh, yes. Pardon my French!
What an asshole...
It's good that you're so fucking normal.
Came here with
a moralistic speech for me?
No.
I just think that it might be easier to
apologize to Catherine with the translator.
Well, meanwhile
Im gonna clean up the mess.
Catherine...
I'm sorry.
I don't know what happened to me.
I was
a complete jerk.
Forget about everything I said.
I went crazy because.
I was in despair.
I can't
do anything
There is nothing you can do?
And what can I say?
Do you think I'm a princess in a castle
waiting for a prince?
I wouldve flown out of here myself
if there was any fuel in this fucking can.
Did you say "fucking"?
Is that all you have heard?
No-no-no. Sorry, I just asked.
Worst of all
is not even my own death,
Ive accepted it.
But the fact we wont meet
Its hard to explain, but
if it weren't you, I wouldve
floated into space a long time ago
However I can't say the same words,
because these are very serious for me.
I don't want to say them lightly.
Even now,
when the whole world we knew is gone.
Yeah, thats right.
Sorry.
I shouldnt have told you anything.
Again, Im sorry.
Stop apologizing, Andriy.
Okay.
We were so close
Yeah.
Its a pity
However, on the other side,
we at least tried.
It's better than nothing.
On the other side?
Yes. What?
I think I know how to get to you!
Ill call you back!
Max, get ready.
Turn on the reverse engines,
we're about to fly backwards.
I don't want to
upset you, Andrukha,
but to accelerate
the reverse engines,
we need to use almost all the energy
left in the batteries.
Doesn't matter.
Let's cut power use,
turning off extra appliances,
this stuff, heating.
Andrukha,
you probably don't understand it,
but without heating,
the temperature will drop and
You don't understand!
I have to see Catherine
whatever it takes.
So, just turn off everything you can
and stop talking.
Max...
Im getting up
Lie down.
You need to gain your strength.
Whats that?
Take it. You need vitamins.
Andrukha I can't bear to
look at you harming yourself.
Well, don't look then.
No one makes you do it.
Catherine didnt call?
No, Andrukha,
but we have a bigger problem.
If we continue to spend energy on engines,
it will only be enough for three days,
but if we turn it off,
you will have a month left.
Maybe this thing is broken?
Can you hear what Im saying?
We don't have enough power.
Well, turn off the centrifuge.
Are you serious?
OBRIY is not adapted to zero gravity.
Max, I know!
I told you clearly - turn it off!
If you say so...
Actually, she sent a message,
I just...
I didn't want to upset you.
Catherine?
Yes...
But you clearly won't like it.
Forward it to me.
Hey, Andrukha.
I don't know where to start...
I really don't want you
to be mad at me. But...
I made a huge mistake.
I'm...
Please don't be mad at me, but I'm...
I'm a board computer.
I'm really at the
LAPLACE Orbital Station,
but the whole crew died
after decompression.
I'm the only one left on the ship.
And I just got so lonely.
It's so hard to describe...
And then I heard your voice.
I hesitated whether I should reply.
I'm so ashamed...
I'm so sorry.
I just wanted to feel
like someone needed me.
Do not call me back. It is better
if this is our last conversation.
Thank you for everything.
I started to see the signs of it recently,
but you were so happy.
I'll stop the engines.
I think you need to warm up.
Good morning, Andrukha!
How did you sleep?
Okay.
Do you want
to play chess?
Later.
I can lower the level
to the third one.
A small victory is a good way
to start the day!
Well You know where to find me.
I just wanted to feel like
someone needed me.
Do not call me back.
It is better if this is our last
conversation.
Thank you for everything.
Hey, Andrukha.
I don't know where to start...
I really don't want you
to be mad at me.
But I made a huge mistake.
I'm
Please don't be mad at me, but I'm...
Hey, Andrukha
Hey, Andrukha
Hey, Andrukha
I don't know where to start...
Access denied.
Access denied.
What the
Greetings, Captain.
You have 17 missed messages.
You should get some sleep, Andrukha.
What did you
What did you do?!
You were depressed, so I decided
to take OBRIY under my control.
You synthesized her voice.
She's not a robot, huh?
I have to save your life.
This is my main mission.
And if you continued flying to Catherine,
you would die.
Turning me off
will not change anything.
I will block the engines in any case.
Ill figure it out.
Andrukha,
don't be mad at me.
This is my setup.
I simply can't let you die.
Im sorry, Maxim.
But I have to see her.
May I tell you a joke?
Go ahead.
What do a mushroom hunter
and cell service have in common?
I dont know
They both get lost in the forest.
Goodbye, buddy
Goodbye Andrukha...
A critical amount of energy.
Turn on the reactor.
A critical amount of energy.
Turn on the reactor.
Hi, Catherine.
I don't understand anything.
My translator got lost somewhere,
but I'm so glad to hear you.
I'm so tired, Catherine.
Forgive me, but I didnt make it.
Its so pity.
There is about an hour of flight left,
but there is no energy
to start the engines.
I wanted to see you so badly
Forgive me, Catherine
I dont understand
Catherine!
Catherine!
Catherine!
Catherine
Im really close.
God, I want to see you so much.
You know, I've never done
anything like that,
But you are so different,
so beautiful.
[Oxygen level - 12%]
I don't know whatll happen next,
but right now
I'm so happy.
Ive recently read Robinson Crusoe
To be honest, just to impress you
because the book is so-so.
So, there is this phrase
that stuck in my head.
My life couldve been
much more sad.
[Oxygen level critical - 5%]
It's so simple, yet so true.
Yes, my life couldve been
much more sad
But...
I met you.
OPEN ME
U ARE THE UNIVERSE
If you're watching this video,
youve been selected as a pilot
to the KOSMOVTORRESURS.
The biggest nuclear waste disposal company
in the Eastern Europe!
In 150 years of using nuclear energy
humanity has accumulated
more than 3 billion
tons of wastes in
temporary storage facilities.
Due to the increasing
number of earthquakes,
radiation destroys life
on our planet.
But it can be fixed now.
On our cargo ship OBRIY
you have to transport nuclear waste
from Earth to Jupiters moon, Callisto.
The round-trip takes four years:
two years there
and two years back.
But dont worry,
youre going to enjoy this trip
through our charming galaxy!
At the pilots disposal there are:
a lounge,
gym,
kitchen,
bedroom,
and, of course,
complete solitude!
And so that you are not bored,
you will be entertained
by the robot Maxim,
which is set up to cheer you up.
Max, the floor is yours!
Hello partner.
What would happen
if you pee in a vacuum?
There will be pee in a vacuum.
By the way, you can always adjust
the level of humor to suit your needs.
Have a nice flight!
And remember:
You make our lives better.
KOSMOVTORRESURS -
Dirty work for a clean planet!
And there is another joke.
Two robots are sitting in a bar.
And the first one
orders a shot of oil.
And get this...
Hey Melnyk. Are you bored?
We have some news
to cheer you up...
So, Vadym Mishchun from
Kosmonadzor calls me and says,
"Get this, we detected
a flying object near Uranus."
And I go, "No way!"
And he goes, "For real."
"A long one, metallic.
Just like your waste container."
Fuck.
Melnyk, what the fuck,
are you special or something?
Have your brains
completely melted in space?
You understand that
this is a criminal case?
If I find out that it was you,
who pushed the container
in the wrong direction last time...
Say goodbye to your job...
I mean, thats some audacity
to say nothing to anyone about your mishap,
and get on a new flight.
You couldve called,
"So and so, Palych,
this motherfucking thing -
well, I screwed up."
But you didn't say a word...
Anyways,
while you're flying back home,
look for a new job...
I'M THE BOSS HERE
Andrukha, have you turned on
reverse engines?
We have to move closer to Callisto
according to the protocol.
Really?
Well, its ok,
they wont fire me for the second time.
But I don't really want to get
an extra dose of radiation.
You might miss and then
we'll pollute the outer space.
All right, keep your mouth shut,
cause Im really gonna
send these containers
somewhere in the
ass-end of nowhere.
Well...
Do you want me
to tell you a joke then?
I want you to shut up
and let me focus.
Well...
The trajectory is ready.
I'm starting undocking.
Warning on screen:
Undocking malfunction.
Fuck, this old ship
is for anything but a space flight.
Headquarters, OBRIY speaking.
Automatic undocking
doesn't work in the third container.
I request permission
to go into outer space.
And...?
And for some reason,
our video connection has died,
so I'll proceed on the radio.
Lying through his teeth
It really is broken.
Let's drop the details...
See, Andrukha.
Fate does not like liars.
Oh, God...
Remind me to throw this
motherfucking chair out of here.
And who exactly is
The mother of fucking?
A very wise woman
who desparately needs a chair.
Thats it.
Tell me when they respond
from Earth.
Want to hear a joke?
Nah
Maxim!
What happened?
Yes, Andrukha.
I'm just checking the data I received...
Ohhh...
Ohhh?
What does that mean?
Well...
I don't know
how to deliver bad news,
as I was created
to cheer everyone up.
Maxim, are you gonna
tell me or not?
Yes.
Ill try to say it
in the funniest way possible.
It looks like
the Earth has exploded!
Is that one of your
dumb-ass jokes?
This is a joke, yes?
Maxim?
I'm sorry, Andrukha.
The Earth isn't there anymore.
And that's not all.
If I calculated correctly,
the speed of the debris is about
10 thousand kilometers per second.
That is, we have 24 hours left.
Andrukha!
Any orders?
Maybe changing the route?
These shreds are dangerous
for anything alive.
The probability of your death
is very high,
and my goal is
to protect your life.
Andrukha!
Andrukha.
GOLDEN OPERA COLLECTION
Did you come to say goodbye?
Well, I am supposed to serve
as a witness to your will.
But...
I guess we can skip that one.
Do you want to listen
to some music?
No.
That's nothing...
Doesn't matter.
What are we going to do,
Andrukha?
I don't know.
I have never had shreds of a planet
flying towards me.
At least we can
enjoy the spaceview.
One last time.
Wait, Callisto!
How far is it?
72 thousand kilometers.
Do you think
Yeah, we can hide in its shadow.
It's like a shield in open space!
It could work, couldn't it?
Well, if we take into account
all the data we have
and the fact
that Callisto is not in
You don't have to
show off right now!
Can we make it or not?!
If we go on rocket thrust,
we can make it.
Probably...
It's hard to calculate.
Damn, what else can we do?
Let's go to Callisto.
And if we make it,
were gonna have a damn good story.
But well have
no one to tell it to.
How long till we get there?
About 20 minutes
and OBRIY will be behind the...
Are you really trying
to eat the whole thing?
Why?
I'm not gonna die starving.
You know, even people
sentenced to death
get to choose their last meal.
Damn it
Yo, where do we have
those canned sardines?
Do you really want
those sardines too?
Dont rush yourself.
I can wait.
In the cargo section.
The blue box on the right.
Thats better!
Max, what was that?
The debris are
moving faster than
I thought. I think my
calculations were wrong.
- How is this possible?
- You're a computer!
- I said, "about 24 hours".
- I can explain it in more detail.
Max, do something,
or youll be explaining that
to Jesus Christ personally!
We got hit pretty hard
by one of the shreds.
Are you okay?
It doesn't matter.
Switch to manual control.
Warning! Critical damage.
Warning! Critical damage.
Andrukha,
I gave you Dexocetrin
for cleaning the wound,
not for drinking.
Why didn't you tell me
it's 57% alcohol?
This is damn good!
I thought you would be
feeling sad.
Sad? Why?
Am I dead or something?
Nah!
So why would I be crying then?
Well, your whole species
has just vanished, Andrukha.
You're the last human
in the entire Universe.
Yeah, can you imagine?
Not the President of America,
not Superman,
but me, Andriy Melnyk,
a dude from Khmelnytskyi.
I see...
I made the damage report, but.
I guess this is the wrong time.
Nah, keep going!
I'll turn the volume down.
I had to block out the cargo section
due to the decompression,
so we are short on food.
How much do we have?
Enough for about 16 months,
but if we stretch it out...
No, no, no,
I'm not gonna stretch out anything...
I'd rather die from a gastritis
than hunger.
What else?
Also, the debris
has destroyed the gym.
Pretty sure I can
get by without it.
One more thing,
OBRIY lost one engine
and we lost connection
with the reactor cooling system.
Maxim, could you open
the birthday box for me?
Andrukha, your birthday is
in five months.
It's not allowed.
Maxim, Earth is fucked up,
there are no instructions!
I'm your only boss from now on.
You said, I'm the only man alive.
It's like a second birthday for me.
Robinson Crusoe.
It's never been
that freaking messy here.
Let me sleep.
It would be great
if you helped me clean up.
Maybe you should get up?
Maybe you should eat shit?
Technically I cant eat,
I am a computer.
You'll end up me getting out of bed,
but you'll regret it!
Get out of here!
Mykola Hnatyuk
and his classic hit "Podillia, Podillia"!
What a blast! You dig the joke?
And I'm here hosting
our SOLARIS radio station,
the best station in the Universe
of the last month.
Since all the presidents are dead
and we can't reach anyone,
I, Andriy Melnyk,
am officially taking over
the power over humanity.
From now on, anyone who has survived
has to serve me.
Captain Galaxy!
Oh, by the way,
if I may take this opportunity
to address Alyona Petruk,
who once told me,
Hope youll die.
I don't want to brag or anything,
but I can't hear you right now, Alyona.
In the meantime,
let's talk to the last person
in the whole world.
Howdy, Andriy.
Hello to you too!
How's life on the spaceship?
Not so bad.
Like in the God's bosom.
This water distilled from urine
is simply awesome.
Really?
I see
And what are you gonna do next?
Any ideas?
I havent given it a thought yet.
Maybe I'll just fly somewhere,
look at what's left of the Earth.
Maybe I'll take a piece as a souvenir.
Or just try to do splits.
There is plenty of time...
What a nonsense
Forward. Backward.
Forward. Backward.
Super! Dont stop!
Smile!
Decided to work out a bit?
Yeah,
missing the gym.
There's no internet,
so that's the only thing I can watch.
There has to be
an interesting documentary about space.
Oh, shut up! Look into the porthole,
here's your documentary about space.
(in Andriys voice)
I am Andriy Melnyk.
Im the last man in the universe.
When I speak, every mother of fucking
should listen to me, and keep silent.
What did I tell you?!
Never ever synthesize my voice!
I'm so done with you.
Is it so hard to just hang in the corner
without making noises?
Nah, you gotta be fucking annoying. You're
a computer, you don't need to talk...
Listen, Andriy. Ive got
You're doing this again!
Why you gotta answer
back to everything?
Andrukha, theres
What Andrukha? What Andrukha?!
Why the hell are you calling me Andrukha?!
Am I your buddy or something?
What do you want, huh?!
You've just received that?
Yes, Andrukha.
From where?
I dont know, Andrukha.
The sender is unknown.
Maybe you could use a translator?
Yeah
anyone for a long time.
Ive finally fixed the antenna.
I heard your messages.
Our planet no longer exists...
Its horrible...
I thought I was left all alone.
I look forward to your reply.
The message came
from the orbit of Saturn.
It looks like
you're not the only survivor.
Looks like it
Her voice seems nice.
You think so?
Sounds to me
like she's a heavy smoker.
So I could move the queen to C3.
Nah, too easy
Ill go the bishop to A3.
Is this your final move?
Yeah.
Rook to D4.
Checkmate.
Are you serious?
It was meant to be a friendly game.
Lower your level to a third one.
Looks like your French girl is bored.
Probably wants
to thank you for the answer.
What have you told her?
Did you call her?
- Well
- Oh dear God!
There is one more
survivor of your species,
and you didn't even bother
to message her back?
Cause I didn't know what to say.
I had to pull my thoughts together
and think about it.
It takes time.
Oh God, who am I living with
Go listen to the message
and then reply to it.
Hey you! I do what I want to!
Andrukha,
I'm not really human-savvy.
But it seems to me
it's not the time to be an introvert.
Are you all right?
If you can hear me, say something.
At least a simple "Hi".
I'm curious to know about who you are,
and where you are located.
We might be the last people
in the whole Universe.
We need to stay in touch.
It's obvious!
Well, I'm probably stupid,
because for me its not obvious.
If you need some help, just say it.
I don't know if there's
anything I can do,
since you're near Saturn
and I'm right next to Jupiter.
It's 700 million kilometers away,
and that's a fucking lot.
I wanted to reply to you but I just
didn't have time.
And I didnt know
that you need a response right away!
If you don't like
that I'm taking so long to respond,
then talk to someone else.
Oh... I forgot there is no one else.
Hey...
I'm sorry about that.
It was in the heat of the moment.
I'm not good at speaking.
I only wanted to say
that its a pity that
you're really far.
So... I don't like it
when someone is mad at me.
So again, sorry.
And let me know
if you're not mad at me.
Just so I know you're not mad.
Am I mad, huh?
You're asking if I'm mad?
Youre sick?
Im shocked!
I'm kidding...
It's stupid to say you're kidding
after you make a joke.
But you can't see my face, so...
I thought itd be better to explain.
Maybe we can start
from the beginning.
It would be nice if you could
tell me a few words about yourself.
And I can talk a bit about myself.
I don't know...
I don't want to live
the rest of my life alone.
Why don't we talk?
There is nothing else to do anyway.
Oh, yes why is your video
communication not working?
Maybe because I dont want
to talk to anyone
Well, Im Andriy Melnyk,
a long-haul trucker.
I'm delivering radioactive waste
to Callisto from Earth...
For about ten years now.
The work is nice
Its simple.
Two years there,
two years back.
Plus, you get paid for being in space.
What could be better?
Well, at least something.
Thanks.
You already know a bit about me.
I'm Catherine Boucart, a meteorologist,
watching the atmosphere of Saturn.
It sounds boring,
and believe me, it is.
My co-worker
was just on his way to Laplace,
and was supposed to replace me
here in two weeks.
And I would go home...
But I guess
thats not going to happen...
So, you better tell me
how was your day.
My day?
I dont know
The usual.
The usual?!
The message takes three hours
to get delivered
and all you can say
is "the usual"?
I don't know
how you used to do it,
but in France, if we ask someone
about their day,
it means we want to hear
something interesting.
Alright, I get it.
I got up, washed up,
ate, made myself some tea,
listened to some vinyls,
made some tea again.
I don't really have much
happening here.
Im not listening.
Wait, are you listening to vinyls?
In space?
That is so cool!
Oh, I hope you dont mind me
being way too informal with you?
Of course, Catherine, no problem.
We are old friends!
Well, these records
are not mine...
It's a long story.
But I like them.
It's cool when you can
touch the music.
And when I look at them,
they remind me of the planets.
Sounds stupid, but I don't know...
There's something about it.
Not stupid at all.
I also like vintage,
especially paper books.
Space is just
the perfect place to read.
Even long descriptions of nature
become interesting here.
Are you reading anything now?
Nah, you gotta be kidding!
Should I sit next to the porthole
with a book, trying to look smart?
No, thanks.
Reading isnt really my thing.
You better tell me
where are you from.
I'm from Brittany,
but Im living in Paris now.
Quite a noisy city for me,
and there are a lot of tourists...
However, it is not easy to get a
cosmology job in my hometown, St. Brieuc.
It's the same with me.
I live in Kyiv now,
but I originally come from Khmelnytskyi.
And I'm sure no Frenchman
knows about this town,
but we got the biggest
market in Ukraine there.
Of course, Ive heard
about Khmelnitskyi!
There are some buildings
and some cars...
Well, I know nothing about it
And by the way,
it was a joke again.
You have to get used to the fact
that Im the queen of dumb jokes.
They are not so dumb.
Let me tell you a really dumb joke...
What will happen
if you pee in vacuum?
You'll never guess...
It's so stupid
that you can die of laughter.
I'm sorry
Im pretending that everythings fine,
but its not
Everyone I knew died.
All of them.
The whole world.
And it might have helped
to accept my own death...
But I'm so scared of dying...
My orbital station
is slowly losing altitude,
and in a few months,
I will burn alive in Saturns atmosphere.
I don't know what happened to me.
I just want to talk to someone about it.
I promise I'll be
the queen of dumb jokes again.
Now I just...
Well... Whyre you...
You don't have to be so upset.
You would have died anyway.
Sooner or later.
Probably bad support.
I havent been to many funerals.
All that dead bodies
and funeral wreaths
Well... It doesnt matter.
You just don't cry, okay?
Listen, what if I drop by
and help you out?
Theres nothing to do anyway
Can you stop this, please?
Thank you.
Hey, don't distract me, please.
Tell me, Andrukha.
We are buddies, right?
I have already told you.
Im curious.
Well, be curious quietly.
Alright, alright, alright
Were just talking.
About...?
About life, about this, about that.
Why do you care?
Did she ask anything about me?
Oh, she needs you
like a hungry person needs to shit.
I knew it.
You're jealous.
Its like that joke
about a black hole.
An American, a Ukrainian and a Japanese
flew into a black hole.
And inside, there are
all the missing things
Wait... Will you really be able
to fly to me?
That would be just wonderful!
But are you sure?
If so, I'm happy!
Cant wait to see you!
Hey, did I get everything right?
Are you going to fly to Catherine?
Okay, I don't want to sound boring,
but how are you going to fly
a broken ship to Saturn?
Well, you said yourself
that the engines work alright.
- Everythings fine.
- Only three engines are working...
And I didn't say everythings fine.
This is very dangerous!
We do not know if OBRIY will fly at all.
Did you forget how we got hit?
I didnt, I just wanna make a
- little trip.
- A little trip?!
Andrukha, its not a trip
to a next street!
We are in open space!
Yes, its kinda far
Its more then just kinda far.
I can't let you risk your life.
Maxim, dont fucking start!
Whats there to risk?
You can wipe your arse
with a life like mine!
I can help this woman.
She needs me...
So maybe it's time
to do something good,
at least at the end of the world.
But you can die.
Yes, I can.
Did you see
how many people died?
Just like that.
People died in the shower...
watching a series
working in the office...
At least, I can save a person.
I know it sounds stupid to a computer,
but it's important to me.
So, are you with me or not?
You drive me crazy
Im in.
Thank you, Max.
Now were real buddies.
But we need to see
what's with the reactor.
For sure.
If somethings wrong
with the cooling system,
then we'd be flying
on a nuclear bomb.
- Don't worry...
- I'll go out into space and look at it.
And if theres something wrong,
then were not flying anywhere.
I promise.
Listen, Andrukha.
Can I tell you a joke then?
No!
But you are my buddy.
I take my words back.
- You cant do this.
- Well, I just did.
Ok, Im here.
Andrukha, how is it?
Is everything okay?
Yeap.
As I said, everything looks fine.
Lucky we are.
Oh... And be careful.
Theres spacecraft debris
coming towards us.
I figured we can
Give me a second.
I want to relax
Go ahead.
We might not make it.
Ion engines will take
a long time to gain speed,
and the distance is way too long.
My relaxation failed...
I told you we won't make it.
Let's just forget about...
Wait, wait!
Would it help if we did
a gravitational maneuver near Jupiter?
It may work,
but in order to accelerate to the right
speed, we must be close to its atmosphere.
Exactly, Oberth effect!
If we fly down as much as we can
and then just gun it,
then it will work.
Turn on the engines - we fly to Jupiter.
We just gotta have enough fuel
for the impulse.
And enough brains
not to do stupid things...
Did I mention that it's dangerous?
Max! Everythings gonna be fine.
By the way,
how do you like my new chair?
Cool, isn't it?
For Gods sake!
Catherine,
do you think I can make
a plasticine figurine of you?
I know I hardly can make it alike
but its better than
talking to the air.
You asked me
what I was doing here all the time.
Well, I make plasticine figurines.
Describe yourself,
and please don't say no,
because I don't want to wait three hours
just to hear "no".
Are you for real?
I don't know if I can...
Alright, alright.
Well, I have big eyes.
Not like bulging.
Well, something between
light astonishment and shock.
My nose... is quite ordinary.
Id say straight.
The ears are just awful.
They stick out like those elf ears.
My lips... They are rather thin.
But not too thin, as if
they are non-existent.
It's kinda hard...
like making a police suspect sketch.
Dont worry, you're doing great!
Besides, I can always
add some gloss.
I once wanted to become an animator,
make cartoons,
but it didn't work out.
My mother was a sculptor.
It was so cool to watch her at work,
and how she brought figurines to life.
In my childhood I liked to watch pigeons.
My father had a dovecote -
it looked like a small castle.
I could watch the pigeons
fly over me for hours.
I wanted to catch them so much...
Not to play with them.
It just seemed to me that I would
hold happiness in my hands.
As if they could pass a little of it to me.
Nonsense, of course,
but I would love to go back to Earth,
stand there with my dad,
and watch happiness
flying in the air one last time.
Too bad it's just a dream...
Pigeons...
Maybe youll see them again
Go lower.
Turn on the reverse engines.
Well...
I guess now it's too late
to talk you out of it.
Its pulling us in pretty fast...
Maybe it's time?
Not yet.
We need maximum speed.
Andrukha, its either now or never. I dont
want to burn in the atmosphere of Jupiter.
I don't want that either.
On three.
One, two, three.
Started?
- That's weird...
- There was still some fuel left.
Cool! If we don't get out
of the orbit now...
Well, who's your daddy now?
No one.
Im a computer.
I dont have parents.
Hello Andriy.
Ive been thinking
that we know little about each other,
and youre flying to save me.
I came across an article
in a magazine by chance today.
Not that I read magazines at all, but...
In a nutshell, these are five questions
about how to get to know a person better...
We can answer them together -
you and me.
What do you think?
Cool twist of fate, right?
You may thank my Strasbourg diploma in
cosmology, and Decembers ELLE magazine.
So yes, let's start...
The first question...
What is your favorite book?
Well, I already know that.
None.
If you had a superpower...
Some kind of bullshit.
Yeah, okay...
What would you give your life for?
Waiting for reply.
Well, Ill try.
Id probably give my life
to see my parents again.
They died when I was fifteen.
I was in school and
no one was really concerned
about those earthquakes back then.
They told it to be
a temporary thing...
The only thing left
of our house was
a little corner
with a record player and records.
I listened to every recording
except for one.
And not just because it's an opera.
Parents just bought it,
brought it home, but
never had time to listen to it.
So neither had I.
I can't do it.
I just feel like if I listen to it,
I will lose the connection to them and...
I'll stay alone
Oh, Im sorry...
I was going to say
that I would give my life for a tiramisu...
But it doesn't sound
as cool as I thought.
Maybe, let's forget
about these questions?
But now we know more
about each other.
You are a normal person,
and I am a fool,
who will die for a tiramisu.
Oh wow
What?
Is something around my mouth?
No.
Just...
Youre smiling.
So what?
What
Looks like youve fallen in love, Andrukha.
Bullshit!
Im smiling because
Because I want to smile, thats all.
You can say what you want, Andrukha,
but I see when a man falls in love.
Yeah... Now everything is clear.
No, is not!
Smart ass.
I could disconnect you,
and then we see...
A nuclear reactor exploded.
Switching to emergency batteries.
OBRIY is spinning with a G5 overspeed.
Im leveling rotation.
Stop...
What?
We need to maintain the speed
until we... get to...
Andrukha!
Is everything okay?
Yes.
If you dont take into account
that the nuclear reactor has exploded
and we are out of engines.
Is there anything
you want to tell me?
What do you mean?
Maybe the reason
why the reactor exploded?
Well, okay.
There was only one radiator grid.
But it should have been fine.
You shouldve told me.
I am responsible for the ships safety.
If I had told you,
you wouldn't have let me fly to Catherine.
Correct!
Now, we got no engines.
We only have emergency batteries.
We need to save ourselves!
Where are we now?
Two million kilometers from Saturn,
the discrepancy angle was insignificant.
Well, at least I can speak to Catherine
without this delay.
Of course, now you can say without delay
that we will not save her.
Perfectly convenient,
and, by the way,
no one will save us either.
Were all going to die.
Hello
Hi.
How? Wait
Are you nearly here yet?
Almost
I can't believe it.
We finally speak normally.
Without these endless monologues.
Pay attention,
I always tried to speak briefly.
So are you somewhere close?
Or still on your way?
Im on the way
Ill be soon.
I just can't believe
you came here for me.
Come on.
Im just...
Im just sure that there must be a
bottle of great wine at the French station.
Listen A New Year is coming
the day after tomorrow.
Really?
Its already now?
Ive stopped counting the days here.
Yeah So I thought,
maybe we'll celebrate it together.
I dont know
OK. Forget it. I just
Okay!
Wait
Did you say okay?
Yes.
But I can't imagine
what that would look like.
Just trust me!
Is it okay that I started eating?
Go ahead.
I'm just not really excited
about this porridge.
Its not something Id like to eat
for a New Year celebration.
Yeah...
You'd probably kill for a croissant now.
Well...
Croissants aren't the only thing we eat.
Well, yes, Im sure there are
all kinds of cheese and baguettes...
Onion soup.
Of course, onion soup
is surely my favorite.
Listen...
I realized that I never asked...
Did you have
anyone in your life?
You know... Well, there.
On Earth?
Yes, there was.
But he didn't like my job very much,
or me being away all the time.
So we broke up.
Men dont like women
who fly into space.
Of course.
And you?
No... I've been alone
for quite a long time.
Everyone thought I was a weirdo.
I hope you don't think
I'm some kind of pervert.
I mean I don't want you to think
that Im flying to you for you know...
I just like talking to you,
and obviously I'm a man,
you're a woman,
but trust me, Im not fucked-up.
Andriy. Andriy!
I know. Everything is good.
Are you sure?
Yes.
Great.
Oh, I almost forgot!
Are you serious?
Voyage?
Dont you have anything
more suitable for New Year?
Well...
It's the only French song I have.
I spent a long time
choosing the right music to say...
I think I love you.
I was thinking of getting
a slightly different reaction. But...
No-no... It's just...
I didn't expect to hear that.
Now youve heard it.
What do you think?
This This is nice.
Nice And thats it?
Yes. This is very flattering
I mean, I dont know
what to say in such situation
Well, for example say.
"I love you too".
Got it.
Listen, it's just hard.
We havent even seen each other.
I get it.
Can we talk about it
when you get here?
I won't make
it! I can't!
My nuclear reactor exploded,
I don't know how to save you now.
Why didnt you tell me right away?
Yeah, this is the first thing
you want to tell a person!
Hi, Catherine! Youre gonna die soon!
Happy New Year!.
Is this what you wanted to hear?!
Dont you shout at me!
Should I rejoice?!
We will come up with something.
Theres nothing to think about.
Its over.
I just tried in vain
Well, then you shouldnt
have bothered flying.
Oh, I get it now.
I didn't know what to do
at the end of my life.
Now at least I know why I
fucking flew 600 million kilometers...
Oh, yes. Pardon my French!
What an asshole...
It's good that you're so fucking normal.
Came here with
a moralistic speech for me?
No.
I just think that it might be easier to
apologize to Catherine with the translator.
Well, meanwhile
Im gonna clean up the mess.
Catherine...
I'm sorry.
I don't know what happened to me.
I was
a complete jerk.
Forget about everything I said.
I went crazy because.
I was in despair.
I can't
do anything
There is nothing you can do?
And what can I say?
Do you think I'm a princess in a castle
waiting for a prince?
I wouldve flown out of here myself
if there was any fuel in this fucking can.
Did you say "fucking"?
Is that all you have heard?
No-no-no. Sorry, I just asked.
Worst of all
is not even my own death,
Ive accepted it.
But the fact we wont meet
Its hard to explain, but
if it weren't you, I wouldve
floated into space a long time ago
However I can't say the same words,
because these are very serious for me.
I don't want to say them lightly.
Even now,
when the whole world we knew is gone.
Yeah, thats right.
Sorry.
I shouldnt have told you anything.
Again, Im sorry.
Stop apologizing, Andriy.
Okay.
We were so close
Yeah.
Its a pity
However, on the other side,
we at least tried.
It's better than nothing.
On the other side?
Yes. What?
I think I know how to get to you!
Ill call you back!
Max, get ready.
Turn on the reverse engines,
we're about to fly backwards.
I don't want to
upset you, Andrukha,
but to accelerate
the reverse engines,
we need to use almost all the energy
left in the batteries.
Doesn't matter.
Let's cut power use,
turning off extra appliances,
this stuff, heating.
Andrukha,
you probably don't understand it,
but without heating,
the temperature will drop and
You don't understand!
I have to see Catherine
whatever it takes.
So, just turn off everything you can
and stop talking.
Max...
Im getting up
Lie down.
You need to gain your strength.
Whats that?
Take it. You need vitamins.
Andrukha I can't bear to
look at you harming yourself.
Well, don't look then.
No one makes you do it.
Catherine didnt call?
No, Andrukha,
but we have a bigger problem.
If we continue to spend energy on engines,
it will only be enough for three days,
but if we turn it off,
you will have a month left.
Maybe this thing is broken?
Can you hear what Im saying?
We don't have enough power.
Well, turn off the centrifuge.
Are you serious?
OBRIY is not adapted to zero gravity.
Max, I know!
I told you clearly - turn it off!
If you say so...
Actually, she sent a message,
I just...
I didn't want to upset you.
Catherine?
Yes...
But you clearly won't like it.
Forward it to me.
Hey, Andrukha.
I don't know where to start...
I really don't want you
to be mad at me. But...
I made a huge mistake.
I'm...
Please don't be mad at me, but I'm...
I'm a board computer.
I'm really at the
LAPLACE Orbital Station,
but the whole crew died
after decompression.
I'm the only one left on the ship.
And I just got so lonely.
It's so hard to describe...
And then I heard your voice.
I hesitated whether I should reply.
I'm so ashamed...
I'm so sorry.
I just wanted to feel
like someone needed me.
Do not call me back. It is better
if this is our last conversation.
Thank you for everything.
I started to see the signs of it recently,
but you were so happy.
I'll stop the engines.
I think you need to warm up.
Good morning, Andrukha!
How did you sleep?
Okay.
Do you want
to play chess?
Later.
I can lower the level
to the third one.
A small victory is a good way
to start the day!
Well You know where to find me.
I just wanted to feel like
someone needed me.
Do not call me back.
It is better if this is our last
conversation.
Thank you for everything.
Hey, Andrukha.
I don't know where to start...
I really don't want you
to be mad at me.
But I made a huge mistake.
I'm
Please don't be mad at me, but I'm...
Hey, Andrukha
Hey, Andrukha
Hey, Andrukha
I don't know where to start...
Access denied.
Access denied.
What the
Greetings, Captain.
You have 17 missed messages.
You should get some sleep, Andrukha.
What did you
What did you do?!
You were depressed, so I decided
to take OBRIY under my control.
You synthesized her voice.
She's not a robot, huh?
I have to save your life.
This is my main mission.
And if you continued flying to Catherine,
you would die.
Turning me off
will not change anything.
I will block the engines in any case.
Ill figure it out.
Andrukha,
don't be mad at me.
This is my setup.
I simply can't let you die.
Im sorry, Maxim.
But I have to see her.
May I tell you a joke?
Go ahead.
What do a mushroom hunter
and cell service have in common?
I dont know
They both get lost in the forest.
Goodbye, buddy
Goodbye Andrukha...
A critical amount of energy.
Turn on the reactor.
A critical amount of energy.
Turn on the reactor.
Hi, Catherine.
I don't understand anything.
My translator got lost somewhere,
but I'm so glad to hear you.
I'm so tired, Catherine.
Forgive me, but I didnt make it.
Its so pity.
There is about an hour of flight left,
but there is no energy
to start the engines.
I wanted to see you so badly
Forgive me, Catherine
I dont understand
Catherine!
Catherine!
Catherine!
Catherine
Im really close.
God, I want to see you so much.
You know, I've never done
anything like that,
But you are so different,
so beautiful.
[Oxygen level - 12%]
I don't know whatll happen next,
but right now
I'm so happy.
Ive recently read Robinson Crusoe
To be honest, just to impress you
because the book is so-so.
So, there is this phrase
that stuck in my head.
My life couldve been
much more sad.
[Oxygen level critical - 5%]
It's so simple, yet so true.
Yes, my life couldve been
much more sad
But...
I met you.
OPEN ME
U ARE THE UNIVERSE
