Movie description:
»Spaceboy« is a multiple-award-winning short film about a UFO-obsessed boy who so feels so alienated from those around him, he wonders if he might be an alien himself. After years of searching the skies, he finally has a Close Encounter – but could it be real, or just a product of his overactive imagination?
Fifteen-year-old Max Phelps is an intense, isolated kid whose one true passion is something no one he knows can relate to: the search for UFOs. Dubbed »Spaceboy« by his classmates and his vain older brother Percy, alienated Max withdraws almost completely into the comfortable escapism of his obsession. So when he experiences a Close Encounter after a particularly traumatizing day at school, even Max has to wonder: is he really making Contact, or is it just a manifestation of his deep need to belong?
Just when he’s beginning to suspect he’s not alone in the universe, however, something even stranger happens: his brother’s cool, punky girlfriend, Carrie, takes an interest in him. In the end, Max finds himself torn between two worlds – the alien one into which he’s always longed to escape and the human which, thanks to Carrie, seems to be within reach for the first time.
