Proxima follows astronaut Emma Green (Eva Green) as she trains for a year-long mission to the star Proxima Centauri, while her life on Earth centers on her daughter. Emma must reconcile the demands of demanding simulations and the isolation of space with the needs of family, raising questions of sacrifice, ambition, and responsibility. Alice Winocour renders a nuanced portrait of motherhood amid extraordinary professional stakes, blending intimate drama with planetary-scale ambition. A thoughtful meditation on limits, time, and human connection.
