Lost in Starlight follows an astronaut who leaves Earth for a mission to Mars, and the lover left behind as the vast, beautiful void between them tests every promise they made. Rendered in luminous animation that blends meteor showers with intimate domestic details, the film turns the cosmos into a backdrop for a quietly epic romance—where radio delays, orbital mechanics, and the slow drift of time replace ordinary obstacles. Visual poetry and a stirring score capture both the bone-deep loneliness of space and the small, stubborn gestures that keep two people tethered.
At its heart the story is a meditation on distance, memory, and the choices that define a life together. As transmissions crackle across millions of miles and both characters confront what they’re willing to sacrifice, Lost in Starlight asks whether love can bridge the infinite, or whether some separations reshape us into someone new. It’s a tender, melancholic journey that finds beauty in longing and hope in the night sky.
