What happens
On the Silver Globe (Polish: Na srebrnym globie) is a 1988 Polish science fiction 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. Production took place from 1976 to 1977, but was interrupted by the Polish authorities. The budget is estimated to be at least PLN 58 million. Many years later, Żuławski was able to finish his film, although not as originally intended. On the Silver Globe premiered at the 1988 Cannes Film Festival, and has received consistent critical acclaim. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
