Synopsis: Sarah is a French astronaut who is preparing to leave the earth for a one-year mission, Proxima.

While following the rigorous training imposed on astronauts, the only woman in the middle of men, she prepares herself especially for separation with her 8-year-old daughter.

"In general, the movies on space are five minutes on Earth and then the problems start in space. And yet, the director Alice Winocour does not immerse us immediately in the interstellar universe with her film on the space "Proxima".

After James Gray's recent Ad Astra, on father-son relationships in an epic space opera, Proxima sees Eva Green (Innocents: The Dreamers, Royal Casino, Miss Peregrine, and the peculiar children) as an astronaut, cutting the umbilical cord with her girl.

The director prefers indeed linger, next to the demanding training of the astronaut, on his maternal guilt towards his girl she will have to leave a year for his space odyssey.

It is because tutelage the stars for these heroes removes nothing from the anguish of separation.

Especially his eight-year-old daughter, Stella, with whom this divorced mother shares a love of fusion. The actress, with her singular beauty and the intensity of her playing, makes us feel this intense love for her daughter.

The originality of this film is also in the choice as protagonist of a woman astronaut, Sarah.

A heroine who evolves in a professional world essentially male, where she must at every moment prove more than others. "I am fascinated by the roles of women who are corny, almost virile. Besides, Proxima also pleased me for that: the idea to embody an astronaut with his side very guy. ", Admits the actress in an interview at Paris Match. Yes, Eva Green likes "the physical roles that get you out of yourself. ".

The training scenes, filmed as close as possible to the actress, painstakingly portray the pangs of performance and exigency, in paintings mixing both graphic beauty and emotion.

Filmed in the real sites frequented by astronauts, in Cologne in Germany, then in Star City near Moscow and Baikonur, everything is done so that the spectator discovers this hidden face of the life of the heroes of the space.

An intimate and moving spatial film.
