Escaping the Fragile Planet
Alternative title: Apodrasi apo ton Efthrafsto Planiti

Directed by Thanasis Tsimpinis

A boy-meets-boy tale unfolds hours before impending doom.
Escaping the Fragile Planet is a gorgeous Greek gay short film that turns the end of the world into an unexpectedly romantic space. Thanasis Tsimpinis uses toxic purple skies, deserted streets and surreal imagery to make one fleeting connection feel precious rather than tragic. Its real subject is not apocalypse but the urgency of loving while time still exists.
