In recent years, with the likes of Annihilation and Arrival delving further inside the psychological in regards to space travel and exploration, on many levels, this first trailer for Promixa – from director Alice Winocour – feels like another very welcome story to the genre.

Starring Eva Green who plays Sarah, a French astronaut training at the European Space Agency in Cologne, and the only woman in the programme, chosen to be part of the crew of a year-long space mission called ‘Proxima’ but, of course, things aren’t just as simple as heading off into the unknown, especially when you have a daughter (Zélie Boulant-Lemesle) and the extreme strain of pushing your mind and body to the limits of endurance.

Proxima also stars Matt Dillon, Lars Eidinger and Sandra Hüller, it comes to UK and Irish cinemas from 8 May.
