ASTRONOMER'S TWIN




[See more pictures!]

Jacob -a young astronomer- hides his memories under his bed and forgets them. Now he cannot sleep because something under the bed makes a horrible noise. He escapes into astronomy, followed by a samurai who wants to beat him up and a puppet full of feminine mystique. A famous Norwegian astronomer initiates him into the mysteries of the universe.

Puppet and human movements shift almost unnoticable. Animations of star- and planet movements investigate the human being’s inner cosmos.
