A small space crew has failed in their mission of colonisation. Trapped between the virtual and the physical, Adam longs for the mysterious Venus forest.

synopsis

Adam and his four co-workers are stifled in their pods on the planet Venus. With key missions failed and resources running low, they find solace only in virtual reality simulations. Trapped between the virtual and the physical, Adam sets his lustful gaze on the mysterious Venus forest. The forest has Adam in its grasp. Following spilled sweat and scorched earth, there is nothing left but the absurd.
Adam et ses quatre collègues étouffent dans leurs capsules sur la planète Vénus. Leurs missions ont toutes été vouées à l’échec, ils ont presque épuisé leurs ressources et ne trouvent de réconfort que dans une simulation virtuelle de la réalité. Piégés entre un univers virtuel et physique, Adam pose son regard lascif sur la mystérieuse forêt de Vénus. La forêt exerce une emprise sur Adam. Après la sueur versée, la terre brûlée, ne reste plus que l’absurde.
Adam en zijn vier collega’s stikken in hun pods op de planeet Venus. Nu belangrijke missies gefaald zijn en de middelen op beginnen te raken, vinden ze alleen nog troost in virtual-reality-simulaties. Gevangen tussen het virtuele en het fysieke richt Adam zijn lustige blik op het mysterieuze Venusbos. Het bos heeft Adam in haar greep. In het zweterige hoofdkwartier, op verschroeide aarde, blijft er niets anders over dan absurdisme.
