Viking

[cin der]

 

Intro from TIFF: "As the film opens, David (Steve Laplante), the film's ostensible hero, endures an intensely granular personality test. He's part of a new initiative in which he and four others will mirror the behaviour of astronauts on the first manned flight to Mars, so that organizers of the mission can predict problems before they become insurmountable — or dangerous. Unfortunately, David, his colleagues, and the mission's planners come up against the unpredictability of human emotions, complicated by the fact that the actual astronauts are drifting towards Mars. As the importance of their work and their decisions grows increasingly apparent, the film zeroes in on a key question: who is playing this odd game seriously, and how far do they intend to go?"
