A meditation about the conquest of space, the series of launching leading nowhere, Icarus’ dream encapsulated by the Russians and the Americans, the cosmonauts’ distorted faces by acceleration, the imminent catastrophe… Pelechian carries out the launching into orbit of a disoriented body, caught in the turbulent matter. There, nothing human remains; it is no more man in the cosmos but the cosmos in man.
