Love (2011)
Have you ever felt alone?...What if you truly were?
After losing contact with Earth, Astronaut Lee Miller becomes stranded in orbit alone aboard the International Space Station. As time passes and life support systems dwindle, Lee battles to maintain his sanity - and simply stay alive. His world is a claustrophobic and lonely existence, until he makes a strange discovery aboard the ship.
In Love, consciousness is carried by aliens — a plane of “isolated ISS”. The story fights on E8 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing isolation, love, connection, sanity.
