"Comet" turned out to be a very personal story. It seems to me that it will become personal for everyone who in one way or another has faced with the topic of divorce. This film is about the role of the child in the "war" of his parents, about fear, love, hope and reality. We try to look at the situation through the child's eyes, but we are adults, and therefore we return down to earth in the finale.
