UFO (2020)

Sep 15, 2020 1h 37m Drama

The film-spectacle “UFO” is the story told by people from the different countries around the world about their contact with an extra-terrestrial civilization. The play is some kind of therapy, as it touches on the basic structures of human mentality, such as egoism, safety, belief in god, gratitude, the spiritual path, etc. According to statistical research, 6 million people claim that they have had contact with aliens; 2 million of them say that they have been hijacked and spent some time in an unknown space. Only 9 tell about something absolutely unbelievable.
