This film was created against everything: from the scope of the idea to the challenges of today. It seemed completely unrealistic to create a real Ukrainian Sci-Fi with a small budget. All production laboratories told me about it. But we persevered towards it and created the impossible, said the tape's producer, military serviceman Volodymyr Yatsenko.

“You are Cosmos” is a sci-fi tragicomedy. According to the plot, Ukrainian truck driver Andrii remains the only survivor in the universe after the Earth's explosion. The French scientist Catherine establishes contact with him, and they decide to fly to meet each other, despite the huge distance.

The main role was played by Voladymyr Kravchuk, now a soldier of the Armed Forces, and his partner became Maksym the robot, voiced by Leonid Popadko, also a military man. The tape was created with the support of the State Film Agency, the company ForeFilms, a co-production of Ukraine, Belgium.

The tape will be released in Ukrainian cinemas in the spring of 2025 year.
