Summary/Abstract: The Ukrainian tragicomedy "Ty - Kosmos," directed by Pavlo Ostrikov, premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September. This film tells the story of a lonely Ukrainian trucker named Andriy, played by Volodymyr Kravchuk, who works in space transporting nuclear waste to a planet-dump - a moon of Jupiter. The protagonist’s companion is an onboard computer, Maxim, designed to lift Andriy’s spirits during the four-year journey. The film's humor and unique narrative have resonated with international audiences, earning positive reviews and helping to establish a new wave of Ukrainian cinema. Despite the challenges of war, Ostrikov emphasizes that Ukrainian culture and film continue to thrive and evolve. Ostrikov's unique path in cinema, from being a viewer to becoming a director, is marked by a strong desire to tell stories against all odds.
