Grounded

Grounded is a 2012 science fiction short film. It's directed by Kevin Margo. Synopsis:
One astronaut's journey through space and life ends on a hostile exosolar planet. Grounded is a metaphorical account of the experience, inviting unique interpretation and reflection by the viewer. Themes of aging, inheritance, paternal approval, cyclic trajectories, and behaviors passed on through generations are explored against an ethereal backdrop.
I watched it more than once and will watch it again. It's like a loop that's hard to leave.

via youtube:



io9 calls it "downright gorgeous" and "trippy". Film Threat describes it as
a brilliant sci-fi experience, with more than a hint of mindbending ambiguity. What starts off as the aftermath of a spaceship crash landing on a barren planet turns into a spiritual journey of neverending life looping in, on and around itself.
