Check out this beautifully shot live-action sci-fi short film called Grounded. It follows an astronaut's journey through space and life ends on a hostile exosolar planet. Kevin Margo directed the film, and it was his fathers death that inspired him to make the film. Here's the description that was provided:
Grounded is a metaphorical account of the experience, inviting unique interpretation and reflection by the viewer. Themes of aging, inheritance, paternal approval, cyclic trajectories, and behaviors passed on through generations are explored against an ethereal backdrop.
