Two Astronauts Are Stranded in Space as a Nuclear War Rages on Earth in This Incredible Animated Short Film BLACK

I’ve got a stunning animated short film that you’ve got to check out today called Black. It was created by Polish filmmaker Tomasz Popakul and it tells the terrifying tale of two Japanese astronauts who are stranded in space due to a nuclear war breakout on Earth. As they orbit around the Earth in a space station, they can see the bombs tearing the planet apart.

This is an awesome story concept that has an uneasiness to it as the astronauts come to a realization that they are doomed. I also love the black and white style of the animation. It’s a beautiful looking film but the content is gloomy as hell.

A pair of astronauts trapped on orbital space station because of nuclear war that ran very fast on the earth below. They lost contact with earth, all attempts to make connection with base or with anybody failed without answer.

Watch the short film below and tell us what you think of it.
