Asternauts

Deutschland USA 2012 Kurz-Spielfilm

For Earl, a man of the earth and his brother Joel, whose head is literally in the clouds, life on their Texas farm is pretty uneventful: Wake up, feed the cows, and sit on the porch drinking beer until it's time to turn in … That is until one night when something from outer space crash-lands in their pasture killing their best milkin' cow and stud bull and turning their world upside-down …

Through this comic adventure, two estranged brothers come together to ward off an impending Armageddon, a gaggle of sinister government agents, and the truth behind this mysterious object. In the end, Earl realizes that even he is capable of believing incredible things, even if it's just for a moment. And, in such a rote and predictable existence as ours, maybe having a little bit of wonder is a good thing after all.
