In the hope of finding the darkest sky possible, Austrian astronomer Karl travels to a small Greek island after a conference in Athens. As he gazes at the stars, the septuagenarian reflects on his job at the museum; his marriage, which is drifting apart; the climate crisis; and the achievements of science. Jem Cohen’s essayistic feature film moves between the observation of the cosmic landscape, reflection on the history of science, and character study.
