Castaway On The Moon This movie begins with a man who, after attempting suicide and jumping off a bridge, unexpectedly ended up on a desert island. From that island you could see the city but at the same time it was very far away. He got trapped there and begins to live there. At first he suffered a lot from hunger, thirst, cold and his emotions since he wanted to take his life. But as the days went by, he got to know, discover and adapt to his new way of life on that island. He learned to catch fish to feed himself, to drink water from that river, to light a bonfire and to survive on very little. He hunted birds and took their eggs to eat. Living all that, hunger and how desperate he was. He began to value everything he had before and wasted it. Many times he tried to ask for help, first from a ship that was sailing, then he tried to call but they did not believe him and wrote a message in the sand saying "help" but in the end he resigned himself to staying there. And it changed the message to "hello". Meanwhile in the city lived a young woman who was in her secluded room, she was three years old and did not leave theres. He had a very strange lifestyle, a routine that he followed every day and always did the same. In his windows he had a telescopewith which he saw the outside world and what was happening in it. One day she saw the message that the man had written in the sand, and after observing him for several days and seeing everything he was doing, she decided to write a message on a sheet that he put in a bottle and one night he left and from the bridge where the man I jump I throw it falling into a tree on the island. The man read it and after discovering that someone was watching him, he continued writing responses to the notes that the girl sent him and it was his way of communicating. The man learned many things and said he felt more intelligent, because with everything he found he tried to invent things and put it to use. He learned to cultivate, to new ways of cooking his food, to make use of everything he found on the island, plants, garbage, bottles and more.
Meanwhile the girl watched him, and after seeing how hungry he was and craving a pasta she decided to send him lots of pasta. But when the delivery man arrived on the island, the man had prepared his own pasta with his own hands, with corn that he grew, and things that he collected. And decided to send them back to the girl who had been sending him notes. And he wrote her a message that said "Desire makes humans intelligent" and on the girl's chopsticks they said "hope". Which caused many things to the girl and for the first time after a long time she decided to go abroad. Thanks to the man of the island. The man was already happy with his new life, but one day after a storm that destroyed everything he had already built in his new home. Some officers came to clean up and because it was a private place, no one could be there so they arrested him. But the girl from her window could see everything that was happening, so she decided to run to look for him and avoid being arrested. After following his steps and the found himself heartbroken as he returned to the place where so many problems had brought him in addition to causing him to want to stop living, the girl manages to find him and since they exchanged glances and know that she was the one with whom he had communication, a love is born. The film manages to give us several messages, from the value of things, to looking for a way to get ahead, how life changes from one day to the next and that although we are having a bad time there are others that may be having a worse time.
