Moths to flame
20 July 1969. Two men dressed as astronauts chat in a room. They are NEIL ARMSTRONG and BUZZ ALDRIN, engaged in the preparations for an important space mission that in a few hours will lead them to walk on the moon. Two moths suddenly enter the room, heading for one of the sources of lighting, a lamp placed next to one of the walls. Their unpredictable and confused flight frightens Neil, who has a certain phobia towards every type of flying insect. It is clear from the reaction his nervousness and insecurity towards the objectives of the trip. The reassurances of his colleague Buzz are not enough, but he already celebrates the fame and the success they will enjoy later. However, a fundamental detail emerges gradually from their dialogue: the delicate mission for which they are preparing is not really a trip to the moon.
