On the Silver Globe (film)
On the Silver Globe (Polish: Na srebrnym globie) is a 1988 Polish epic surrealist science fiction arthouse film written and directed by Andrzej Żuławski, adapted from The Lunar Trilogy by his grand-uncle, Jerzy Żuławski. Starring Andrzej Seweryn, Jerzy Trela, Iwona Bielska, Jan Frycz, Henryk Bista, Grażyna Deląg and Krystyna Janda, the plot follows a team of astronauts who land on an uninhabited planet and form a society. Many years later, a single astronaut is sent to the planet and becomes a messiah.
Plot
After the birth of their first son, Marta notices that the child is growing much faster than on Earth. Later, an unseen enemy kills Piotr and Marta dies in childbirth. Decades later, Jerzy is in his old age but has not aged as quickly as the new humans. The new humanity is now a tribe of several dozen people, with whom he can no longer communicate: they are partially feral and view "The Old Man" (Jerzy) as a demigod. Before he dies, he sends a video diary to Earth containing recordings from handheld video cameras.
