The budget for the program to colonize Mars was so drastically cut back that settlements never appeared on the faraway planet. Now the only reminder of the ambitious plan is an abandoned base inhabited by a very lonely robot.

Synopsis

Flights to Mars went out of fashion years ago. Now the only reminder of these ambitious trips is an abandoned base inhabited by a very lonely robot. The silence and tranquility of the red planet is eventually disturbed, however, by a privately-funded Czech crew, whose members have taken on the mission for very different reasons. The trip’s patron, for example, is trying to fulfill a promise to his fiancée by marrying her right on the Martian surface… A romance, moments of absurd comedy, and an existential take on colonizing outer space – all this is the unique Czech motion picture Trash on Mars, set inside an authentic simulated Mars habitat.

Anna Purkrábková
