Ñuuyii (Earth)
About the Film
A young man, born and raised in the vastness of the galaxy, lands on an unknown planet.
As he surveys the landscape, he recognises fragments from ancient stories.
Driven by a quiet urgency, he contacts his ship’s command to retrieve archival recordings of the last humans to abandon earth.
Slowly, it dawns on him that he has returned to his ancestral home.
