Synopsis

In a surreal, futuristic dining experience called “Gastronauts”, waiters guide guests through courses exploring humanity’s relationship with food production, consumption, and waste. Multimedia vignettes, songs, and scenes depict topics like the food industry’s manipulative marketing tactics, environmentally unsustainable farming methods, unhealthy processed foods, the pressures of body image and dieting, and the harsh realities of poverty and hunger
