What a relief to find a version with the original audio!
It looks like a vivid dream. The author was able to remember and tell. And someone made the animation.
Ребята, смысл в том, что каждый из нас, как и наши предки делает своей жизнью вклад в строительство храма человечества без капли пафоса

реализация указанного замысла так себе, если честно, если этот замысел вообще тут используется. слишком натянуто. вообще это по мотивам указанного рассказа. никакого "Храма человечества" здесь нет. просто фантазия на тему. трудно искать черную кошку в темной комнате, особенно, если ее там нет. (с)

Originally saw this on the Animation Show DVD like fifteen years ago or has it been longer, a cathedral that immobilizes explorers all due to the proximity of a neutron star of some sort is still to this day one hell of a novel concept, fossilization from first light:)
I sensed as I viewed the story that I was watching a newer kind of story telling, so artful and meaningful.

@@resiknoiro7506 It is based on short story (never translated to english) written by polish sci-fi and fantasy author Jacek Dukaj. The story takes place in the distant future. The main character is a catholic priest from Earth who arrives on the asteroid to investigate the site of miraculous healings. In the past, a lander crashed on an asteroid, one of the cosmonauts gave his life so that the rest would survive. On the basis of his dedication, the cult of Izmir (the asteroid is called Izmirad) was created.. A cathedral was built at the site of his death. The main material for its construction was crystal, which reproduced itself like a plant or fungus. Hence the appearance of this cathedral reminiscent of the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona (Dukaj's main inspiration). As a result of the crystal poisoning, the priest cannot escape from the asteroid, which is getting further and further away and it is impossible to return to earth. At the very end, the priest transforms into part of the cathedral. Before he dies, he sees her inhabitants - ghosts or an alien life form. He joins them and moves away into the darkness of space.
*Everything about this film is just beyond majestic.*

An amazing visual feast of animation!
Stunning! The film gave me a feeling of reverence so strong I felt as if i was standing in the cathedral. I also find it intriguing that the other tributes seemed peaceful and serene, they didn't give off a "i just got murdered by a tree"vibe at all.Beautiful film , Congratulations!

Even before those, there were Vampirella and some other 'horror' comics in the '70s that truly rocked. I remember teachers at school berating me for reading those, and treating me as though I had some sort of complex; I just got a kick out of the fantastic artwork and the interesting ideas presented therein. Richard Corben's work was truly amazing (IMHO), but he had plenty of company...I believe he recently passed away...RIP.

@@Cobalt27rus очевидно, смысл самого мультика - в том, что собор состоит из случайных путников, на которых падает свет местного светила, и которые прорастают его колоннами. Учитывая, что есть прямое сходство с земными соборами - наверно, тут намек на то, что религия держится на обычных людях, или что религия может вот так вот захватить человека, чтобы он ей служил, и что надо аккуратно подходить к верованиям или учениям. Ну в общем, если видишь что-то огромное и таинственное, возможно, оно было создано просто благодаря таким людям, как ты сам. Возможно, не очень грамотно написал. Добавлю: нечто таинственное и непонятное может оказаться состоящим из любопытных, проходящих мимо, и не такое уж всесильное, как кажется, то есть без новых людей оно бессильно, например бессильна религия, учение, некая организация. Но, с другой стороны, надо и внимательно присматриваться к нему, потому что оно может попытаться тебя захватить. Вот такие примерно смыслы мне тут видятся.
