"Just like you, I fled my planet," he says in the clip. "Through galaxies, through black holes, through time. And then I found… you."

"He turns to the only voice who can help him try to put it back together," the logline continues. "It just so happens to belong to a creature from the beginning of time lurking in the shadows of his ship."

The film is based on the novel "Spaceman of Bohemia" by Jaroslav Kalfař. The movie is directed by Johan Renck, with a screenplay by Colby Day.
