The Sasha
In 1972, astronaut Charles Duke lands on the Moon. He is in charge of taking photos of the lunar
surface with a high-resolution camera. The Sasha is a story about the human perspective on Earth and our constant struggle with our temporal and spatial limitations. From the exploration of space to cyberspace, from an
analogue Moon in 1972 to a virtual Moon in Google Earth today. A film
about parallel universes in which eternity seems to be lost between
frames and interfaces.
