The story of Spaceman revolves around astronaut Jakub (Sandler), who has been on a mission in space for 189 days. A mysterious cloud is worrying people on Earth. Jakub has to find out what it is all about and leaves his pregnant wife Lenka (Carey Mulligan) behind on Earth
Here you can watch the trailer for Spaceman:
It quickly becomes clear: Jakub is completely lost in the infinite vastness of space. Loneliness gnaws at him. He moves through the darkness as an emotional wreck. Just at that moment, he encounters an alien that looks like a giant spider: Hanuš (Paul Dano) gives the sad astronaut a big fright.
But Hanuš is up to no good. On the contrary: he cares about Jakub and provides him with emotional support. But is the alien creature real? Or is it merely a product of Jakub’s imagination? He may have lost his mind for good. At the same time, Hanuš speaks many truths that he doesn’t want to face.
