When eight cargo ships disappear and the space station Margot suddenly enters radio silence, Prof. Maria Scholl (Cox Habbema) and the space council are forced to decree a flight ban for all spaceships leaving Earth until the cause of these events can be determined. Along with embittered cosmonaut Capt. Lagny (Iwan Andonow), Scholl soon divines that the disappearances have something to do with mysterious Morse code signals emanating from the Cygnus constellation, which spell out the name "EOLOMEA" — and the fact that one of her colleagues seems to have had details of the disappearances before the news was made public is a sign that these events may not be random. A realistic look at a far-from-utopian future filled with squabbling bureaucrats and isolated, alienated, blue-collar space workers, Eolomea is an impressively made, tightly paced sci-fi mystery that daringly experiments with a non-chronological narrative.
