Moonbuggy

Is the yoyo really the greatest invention in the history of mankind? And what does yodeling have to do with flying to the moon? A satirical reckoning with the second-rate historical status of the Philippines, whose space programme, driven by the free will to play with a yoyo on the Moon, is a metaphor that begins and ends in a courtyard with chickens. "The principle behind yodeling and the yoyo is basically the same. First it moves away and then it comes closer again. And so the only place in Germany where I feel truly at home is in Bavaria. Because instead of "ja-ja", they say "jo-jo"." Kidlat Tahimik (Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival)
