EOLOMEA (Reihe: VIELE MORGEN)

In the organizer's words:

GDR 1972, feature film, 82 min

Director: Herrmann Zschoche

with: Cox Habbema, Iwan Andonow, Rolf Hoppe

Language: OV (German)

Sometime in the indefinite future, several spaceships disappear without a trace. The connection to the orbital station "Margot" also breaks down. The head of the "Earth Center" station, Maria Scholl, calls a crisis team and wants to ban further space flights. Is everything connected to the signals from the planet "Eolomea", on which eternal spring seems to reign?

The design of this DEFA film looks wonderfully retro-futuristic to today's eyes. The spaceship sets and costume design can clearly be located in the 1970s, when the film was made, rather than in the distant future. Perhaps that's why they are so interesting to look at (the robot alone!). What is still relevant today is the constant emphasis on the beauty and peculiarity of nature on our "little ball with six continents" in some of the grandiosely kitschy scenes.
