Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Johnny Ramone's cameo as Lowell is his only acting credit—he took the role because he loved space and hated being home.
Made during Spain's brief 2000s sci-fi boom, this was María Lidón's passion project after her documentary career—she literally cast herself as the doomed commander.
