Rome-based sales company True Colours has picked up the Ukrainian sci-fi dramedy “U Are the Universe,” written and directed by Pavlo Ostrikov, which will have its world premiere at the Toronto Film Festival in the Discovery section.
“U Are the Universe” centers on Ukrainian space trucker Andriy Melnyk. After Earth explodes, he thinks he is the last person in the universe until he receives a call from Catherine, a French woman on a distant space station. Despite the obstacles, Andriy decides to find her.
In a statement, Ostrikov said: “‘U Are the Universe’ is a story about the last love in the universe. In each of my films, I look for love, because it is the highest human value. The best thing in the whole universe. It can be painful, but usually brings great joy.
“It is important for me to tell this story because I see myself in the main character.
