Mom T @Momtheciaspy 2d Directed by Eunice Levis, Ro and the Stardust is a poignant Afro-futurist short film that masterfully weaves together themes of terminal illness, generational legacy, and the power of imagination. The story centers on the rebellious Ro as she helps her grandmother, Sonia, construct a makeshift rocket in a scrapyard to fulfill a final wish of dying among the stars. By contrasting the gritty, industrial reality of the shipyard with the celestial aspirations of its characters, the film reframes grief not as a static tragedy, but as a courageous journey toward the unknown. The chemistry between the leads brings a grounded, heart-wrenching authenticity to the fantastical premise, making it a profound exploration of how we use "magic" to navigate the most difficult transitions of life.
