Proxima
Directed by Alice Winocour
Produced by Dharamsala, Pandora Film
A tender, melancholic portrait of a mother's impossible choice between ambition and maternal presence, centered on the emotional turbulence of separation.
Sarah is a French astronaut training at the European Space Agency in Cologne. She is the only woman in the arduous program. She lives alone with Stella, her seven year old daughter. Sarah feels guilty that she cannot spend more time with her child. Her love is overpowering, unsettling. When Sarah is chosen to join the crew of a year-long space mission called Proxima, it creates chaos in the mother-daughter relationship.
