A young woman bored and lonely surfs a video chat room on the internet . Bored by the creeps and freaks online she is about to disconnect then suddenly she is hit on by a Russian cosmonaut who is circling the Earth in a space station
I recently saw a short film by Ben Aston called DINNER AND A MOVIE which was set in the United States featuring the trouble that desperate loneliness can cause . Loneliness seems to be a theme that interests Aston greatly and was able to develop and deliver DINNER AND A MOVIE to its greatest potential . Here however the story is much more slight and inconsequential as two people talk over the internet separated by thousands of miles . It probably has that ring of truth as to the difference between the male and female psyche in the internet era . The female is fascinated by the whole endeavor of travelling in space while the male is a bit more interested in the science of biology . Make up your own mind about this short but I felt it was a bit too short and slight for its own good
