    What would mankind be without the moon? Its existence is the result of a cosmic act of love: It is believed that it was formed around 4.5 billion years ago when a planet collided with the Earth. This is why we all literally carry its DNA within us. The film allows us to take another look back at how we humans discovered the moon.

  • Episode 2Goddess of the Night50 min

    Astronomers had barely finished mapping the moon when it showed its second face – its magic side. The moon became a symbol of the unconscious. Does it determine the way we live and love – does it determine our future? Is the long-distance impact of the moon really as powerful as people believe?
