LITTLE COSMONAUT - dir. ARI ALEXANDER ERGIS

synopsis
A short film about a young boy’s escape from reality, the search for love and security, about cryptic messages from outer space and an invisible friend in the cellar. Based on the director's own memories, this is the story of a young boy’s world filled with fantasies and dreams of distant worlds. His eccentric grandmother is his best friend and his partner in the world of the imagination. But all this is about to come crashing down.
