Synopsis

Three individuals find themselves in the same therapistโ€™s office, but the therapistโ€™s inability to maintain distance propels them through four dreamlike dimensions of the mind - toward oblivion.

One of them encounters Sol, an astronaut in an orange suit, who responds to a silent distress call and rekindles their lost connection to self. But in the shadows, an invisible evil waits.

Our shared vision

Stranded in the Void is not only a film but also a reflection of our time. In a world where isolation, uncertainty, and disconnection have become familiar experiences, this story resonates as more than fiction โ€” it is a mirror. It captures the feeling of being adrift, searching for meaning and connection in the vastness of existence.


Collective Isolation: Just as the characters drift in the void, many people today feel cut off โ€” by distance, by technology, or by circumstances. The film transforms that loneliness into a shared experience, reminding us we are not alone in feeling lost.


Search for Connection: The narrative emphasizes the human need to reach out, to find signals in the dark. This parallels our own attempts to connect across cultures, communities, and personal struggles.


Resilience and Hope: Even in emptiness, the film shows that small gestures โ€” a signal received, a voice heard โ€” can ignite hope. It reflects the resilience people carry in uncertain times.


Emotional Universality: The void becomes a metaphor for modern existence: the silence of unanswered messages, the distance between people, the longing for recognition. By dramatizing this, the film allows audiences to process their own emotions.

In short, Stranded in the Void is important now because it transforms isolation into empathy, and emptiness into a shared constellation of human experience.
