In space everyone can hear you scream, it's just that they're not listening.

An absurdist tragicomedy of spaces in between in which Trefor Gare's hybrid comic minimalist style is banged up against live and prerecorded video in an exploration of miracles, technological and otherwise.

Set in the decaying cabin of Australia's first space craft, it is the story of Captain Tom Simpson. Cut off from all communications and in a rapidly decaying orbit he must somehow avoid becoming the millennium's first shooting star.
