The Ukrainian science fiction drama “You Are the Cosmos”, directed by Pavlo Ostrikov, has become the second highest-grossing Ukrainian film of 2025 after five weekends in theatrical release. This was reported by the film’s creators and confirmed by Ukrainian media outlets monitoring box office performance.
Box Office Results and Ranking
According to Suspilne Culture, after five weekends in cinemas the film grossed tens of millions of hryvnias, securing second place among Ukrainian film releases in 2025. The current box office leader remains “Antarctica” by Anton Ptushkin.
“You Are the Cosmos” premiered in Ukrainian cinemas on November 20, 2025. During its opening weekend, the film earned nearly ₴9 million and attracted approximately 47,000 viewers. The film continued to demonstrate steady audience interest in the following weeks, resulting in strong cumulative box office figures.
Film Synopsis
The story follows Andrii, a Ukrainian space trucker who may have become the last human in the universe after a global catastrophe on Earth. His isolated existence changes when he unexpectedly establishes contact with Catherine, a woman from France who needs his help. The film combines science fiction elements with a dramatic, existential narrative focused on loneliness, responsibility, and human connection.
Significance for Ukrainian Cinema
As noted by Detector Media, the success of “You Are the Cosmos” highlights a growing audience interest in Ukrainian genre cinema, particularly science fiction—a genre that has historically been underrepresented in the country’s film industry.
The film’s position among the top-grossing Ukrainian productions of the year indicates a gradual expansion of the domestic film market and a willingness among viewers to support ambitious, non-mainstream national projects.
