BASED ON THE SPACE EPIC
BY HARRY MARTINSON

- No!
- He'll be here later.

No.

- Want to wave goodbye to Earth?
- No.

You'll regret it if you don't.

Want to say bye-bye to Earth?

- Bye-bye, Earth.
- Bye-bye.

We will now begin docking
with Aniara.

Please keep your belts fastened
until the gangway is ready

and the seat belt sign is switched off.

Please note that checked containers
will not be available during the voyage.

We hope you've had a pleasant ascent
and wish you a happy, new life on Mars.

Excuse me, I work here.

Hi.

FOREBODY

Welcome aboard Aniara.

A state-of-the-art transport ship,

which will take you all the way
from Earth to Mars in three weeks.

The air we breathe on the craft
ls completely natural.

It derives from
our extensive algae farms.

And our twenty-one restaurants...

...also feature a spa, a tanning salon...

You will want for nothing.

As we enter our set course, please
lie down with your seat belts fastened

until the gravitational load
has adapted to our cruising speed.

All communication systems will be down
until we've reached our destination.

- Hi!
- Hi.

- So you're in my room now?
- Yes, here I am.

Served my whole life
and still have to bunk.

That's how they treat astronomers here.

Yes.

Leave people behind on Earth instead,
so I can have my own closet.

I don't care if they melt into the tarmac.

- I was only kidding.
- I wasn't.

I've never been very impressed
by people.

Sorry to hear that, but...

- ...you sure seem to enjoy books.
- I took the top shelves.

- I hope you don't snore?
- No.

Or a little... maybe.

Then I'll have to change cabins
on the way back.

Goddamn it!

HOUR 1

ROUTINE VOYAGE

This is Captain Chefone speaking.

We are now cruising at a speed
of 64 kilometers per second,

and are expected to dock
with the space lift Valles Marineris

in 23 days, 7 hours and 25 minutes.

- It's a pressure suit.
- Not exactly designer stuff.

I guess these are all you have,
so I'd like a size 104.

Please wrap it for me.

- Mima Hall introduction?
- I'm good, thanks.

Care to do the Mima Hall introduction,
starting now?

No, thanks.

OK, then.
Might as well get started.

I'm called MR.
I work as a Mimarobe here on Aniara.

Mima was originally created
for the first settlers on Mars, who...

Simply put, she transports us
back to Earth as it once was.

Right, shall we...?
Let's go inside.

If you tilt your head down...
No one else do it.

You can tell, it gets more intense.

Is it OK if I have a look?

And look up.

What you see is personal to you,

since Mima has access
to your memory banks.

Now, let me explain
how to use this space.

Once you enter into the images,
you won't feel your...

Stabilization initiated!

Two, one...

We've got protruding sections
by the Saba reactor.

Stand by for cooling results.

- Passing field SARI-17!
- Return to course.

Hondo, initiate course return.

Hondo!

Captain, initiating course return.
Field egress ICE-12.

- What's happening?
- Not sure, but don't worry.

Why don't you lie down
on the Mima pillow?

You can lie here for as long as you want.

- What happened?
- No idea.

- Nuclear fuel ejected.
- Good.

- Status on the back-up system?
- Techs are working on it.

Copy that.
Isagel, course?

Field SARI-16, angle YKO-9.
Lyra constellation ahead.

Copy that.

Just keep still.
Everything is under control.

Nobody move. Just keep still.

Now all is in order.

Need help?

We will soon be going live with
Captain Chefone from the Light-year Hall.

The broadcast will also be delivered
across all audio-visual devices.

Excuse me, could you move over?

Good evening, dear passengers.

We've had an incident
and I understand your concern.

Let me get straight to it.

Something highly unlikely has occurred.

We had to make an emergency maneuver
to avoid a collision with space debris.

It saved our lives.

But our reactor took a hit
as a screw penetrated the hull.

The power station caught fire
and we had no choice

but to eject all our fuel.

This unfortunately means
we can no longer steer Aniara.

We've been knocked off-course
and cannot turn back.

But you can remain calm.

Once we pass a celestial body,
we'll use its gravity to get back on course.

I can't tell you exactly
when this will happen.

But I want you to prepare for the fact
that it could be a couple...

...definitely no more than two years.

Hey, excuse me,
it was supposed to take three weeks.

I'm afraid things have changed.
Listen to the Captain now.

That's not possible. I told my son
I'd be there for his fourth birthday.

You will of course be
duly compensated upon arrival.

But for now, we need to cooperate
and be there for one another.

Remember, we have much
to be grateful for.

No one was hurt,
and our voyage is still ahead of us.

In that sense, we've been lucky.

- Was her name Chebeba?
- No, that's me. Her name is Libidel.

Libidel? Listen to me.
Just let the images come to you.

Tilt your head down
and they'll come at once.

Breathe slowly.

Lie down here. That's it.

I'll let you know as soon
as I have more information.

In the meantime, help yourself
to a snack from the management.

Have some shacks...

How soon can we increase
algae production to cover our food needs?

Immediately.
It won't burden the oxygen system.

Restaurants? How long can we last?
When do we run out of supplies?

It depends, but in two months
we'll start noticing a difference.

- Including the algae?
- We can survive on it.

But it's not exactly tasty.

How are you?

- Good.
- Nice repression.

I don't really have anyone
waiting for me.

- No family?
- No. None still living.

You've got Mima.

- Is anyone waiting for you?
- I'm separated.

- After 31 years, in total.
- Oh, shit!

- What?
- I'm sorry! It just sounds so...

...long.

Of course, 31 years is a long time
in a human life span.

- How come it ended?
- I don't know.

It's so hard to tell
when you're involved.

You're right about that.

You usually need to view it
from a distance.

Guess I'll be able to do that now.

So check back with me
in a few years' time.

WEEK 3

WITHOUT A MAP

Excuse me.
Where can I find the Mima Hall?

Once you're inside the images,
you won't feel your body.

That's why you need to lie
on one of these.

Then you can spend hours in here.

Hey! You can't come in here!
I'll be right back.

No shoes in here!
You need to take the introduction first.

I'm sorry.

There we go.
Lie down, face down, and just relax.

Now you lie down as well.
Let me take your glasses.

I need to speak to the Captain.

He's busy. What's it about?

This past week I've had more visitors
than I usually get for an entire trip.

- I need help.
- I'll pass it on.

- They need training too.
- I'll write that down.

Do you know how long it'll be
before we can turn around?

- You can't sleep either?
- No.

Sorry!

Can I ask you something,
as an astronomer?

Ask away.

Do you have any idea which celestial body
we'll be able to turn at?

- What did you say?
- I didn't say anything.

Because I'm not anticipating anything.

- I thought you knew about that stuff.
- I do know about that stuff.

The answer is "none".

- None?

- What?
- There's no celestial body to turn at.

You're kidding?

GM-54 is the closest we'll get to.
But we'll never reach its mass.

The pilots must've figured that out too.

I don't get what they're doing
on the Captain's bridge.

Will you turn off the light?

Turn off the light, please.

- Is he OK?
- It looked quite brutal to us.

- Let him out!
- Can I get by?

I work here. Excuse me.

It's some kind
of panic attack or psychosis.

Hi.

I work as a Mimarobe.
I'd like you to come with me.

He's asking if you're a devil?

A woman at the Planetarium told him,

she's an astronomer and she knows...

- She says we won't be able to turn around.
- No, that's not true.

Tell him...

Tell him to come with me,
I promise he'll feel better.

What do you think life on Mars is?
Some kind of paradise?

It's not. It's cold.

Nothing grows, just a small
frost-proof tulip, this tiny.

Want me to translate?

Just say that
we might as well live here.

Further in. This way.

You need to put your head down.
Put it down.

There.

You'll have to come back another time.

No!

I really need some help. It's untenable.
I need to train them as well.

Teach them to resist the images
to maintain focus in the room.

Sounds reasonable.

How many do you need?

- How many...?
- To help you out.

Right... five? Six.

People will freak out when they learn
we'll never be able to...

Never be able to...?

Who told you that?

Right, I'll get you
at least eight people.

- Thanks.
- Good.

Once the passengers get used
to eating algae,

we'll go public with the situation.
I mean, the fact is...

- The fact is...?
- We've built our own little planet.

YEAR 3

THE YURG

What's your name?

- What's that?
- Daisi!

- Come on, don't be so lori.
- Lori?

Don't get all gammed down.

What??

Finish yourself off.

An important message
for all passengers.

Right now we're offering double points
for new algae-plant employees.

Sign up for duly at your nearest desk.

Oh, nasty!

Sulphate?

- I don't smell anything.
- It stinks.

We need more people
on the water purification plant.

Copy that.

- This is not good.
- No.

All the food we eat on the craft
comes from here. Come in.

Keep walking.

Look at that beautiful color.

If it's brown, it's no good.
It must be washed.

Shall we continue into the next room?

See? This is good stuff.

The only hard thing about this job
is getting up in the morning.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

- Thank you.
- Thank you. See you tomorrow.

- Beautiful.
- It's a tree, a duck, and a sea.

You think I could stay a little longer?

- I'm afraid not.
- What if I transfer points to your card?

- No, sorry. Come back tomorrow.
- It's like that? Fine, then.

Thank you.

- Thank you.
- Sure.

Hang on.

The guy you saw me with
this morning...

...it meant nothing.

Just so you know.

There's much to be ashamed of in life,
but that's nothing.

I don't get her!
It's like she has no emotions.

You need to understand,
that's how pilots are.

- They're a new kind of fatalists.
. Huh?

They're experts
at repressing their emotions.

Isagel...

...represses her feelings.

The utter nonsense of living.

What? Being in love is nonsense?

It's all so peripheral,
what we're doing.

It's so futile, so meaningless.

You see this bubble?

If you think of it as Aniara,

maybe you'll understand
the vastness of space.

You see, the bubble actually
moves through the glass.

Infinitely slowly.

In the same way, we move forward.

Even if we drift at an incredible speed,

it's as if we're standing perfectly still.

That's us, a little bubble
in the glass of Godhead.

Welcome.

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

Welcome.

What are you doing?

Huh?

3-VERB is fighting
a cloud of shame.

How terror blasts In,
how horror blasts out

Deliver me from the vision.

There... It's OK.

I'm sorry, I'm going to have
to close early today.

You can't just send us away.

- What's going on?
- She's sending us away!

We're not allowed in there.

Everybody back up.

What do you think you're doing?

Sit. Sit down!

How can you throw people
out of the Mima Hall?

Mima needs to rest.

- How do you know?
- She tells me.

- She tells you?
IRV

And that she reduces herself
to human speech is worrying.

She sees everyone's memories,
what they've been through...

I know how a Mima works.

Right, but people are starting
to see awful things.

I need to close up for a week,
preferably a month.

That's too rash.
We've got a system in place that works.

People go to work,
most of them contribute...

So we're not changing things
or dictating over Mima images!

- Right?
- It's untenable.

Get out of here.

Get out!

My conscience aches
for the stones.

I've heard them cry
their stonely cries,

seen the granites
white-hot weeping...

Do you understand?

I've been troubled by their pains.

In the name of Things,
I want peace.

I will be done with my displays.

There is protection
from nearly everything...

Stop! You can't be in here! Stop!

But there is no protection
from mankind.

Get out!

Get out!
Get out, you can't be in here!

...prolonging the very second
when you burst.

How terror blasts In,
how horror blasts out

Mima!

How grim it always is,
one's detonation.

No!

Unbelievable.

The Mimarobe has stayed in there
at night and kept Mima all to herself.

How dare she?

Has Isagel been here?

I ran into her out in the corridor.

I need to get back.

Rumor has it, you'll be punished.

- Punished?
IRV

You can't blame the Mimarobe.
It's not her fault.

Two things.
One: we can do whatever we want.

Two: she's had
a number of complaints.

What has she done?

She's been locking herself in the hall
to sabotage Mima.

You know that's not true.

I don't think I've ever seen you this upset.

Nice to see you've got
a little heart beating in there...

Stop her!

We're headed for her cabin now.

It's 3151.

Hey! We want to talk to you!

What are you doing?
Stop! Stop!

Emergency stop is activated.

The operator has been notified
and will arrive shortly.

YEAR 4

THE CULTS

Come closer. Give us light.

Come closer. Give us light.

Come closer. Give us light.

Come closer. Give us light...

He does not, and I quote, "want his body
to be buried in the Light-year grave."

What exactly does that mean?

Seems he was frightened of space.

- What's the suicide count?
- Forty-eight.

- Forty-eight this month?
IRV

- And that's including the family in 327?
IRV

You.

You.

You.

You.

You...

...and you.

Let's go!

Come on. Go inside.
Get in, get in!

We're in need of staff.
You'll be reassigned to your jobs.

Algae. Deoxidation. Algae.

You can stay down there,
it's up to you.

Just take it, come on!

Please, Isagel.

You'll be going back to Logistics.

MR, you're going to teach.

We need to focus on kids
with a talent for tensor theory.

Find the right size uniform.
And make us proud.

How can you even consider
staying down there?

- I have my principles.
- You don't say?

Let's talk about artificial gravitation.
I'm quoting:

"Only with the new era's
fifth tensor theory

"did it become possible
to outsmart gravity.

"Previously we had tried shooting
ourselves out of the curve vectors,

"or, which worked slightly better,

"pulsating the spaceships
out of the fields using force cadences."

Forgive us! Forgive us!

Forgive us! Forgive us!

Forgive us! Forgive us!

Forgive us...!

I won!

Hello.

Libidel wants you to carry the lantern.

Libidel and her Libidellas.

- Sorry, I don't get it.
- Libidel and her Libidellas...

We're going to canonize Mima.

- You what?
- We're going to canonize Mima.

We'll form a choir at her grave.

Then what? You're going
to sacrifice me for killing Mima?

Mima killed herself.

She died of grief.

She died of grief.

You have to come with us.

Mima, we pray at your grave.

- Mima...
- Our day of days.

YEAR 5

THE CALCULATION

What did you say?

There are no possibilities...

There are no possibilities here.

I'll give birth to a prisoner.

Why do you say that?

Because it's true.

- I'll deliver someone to eternal night.
- It's going to be fine.

I promise, it's going to be fine.
You'll feel better.

- You can't promise that.
- Yes, I can.

I'm going to get rid of the darkness.

What are you doing here?

Why aren't you with Isagel?

I said, why aren't you with Isagel?

She wants to be alone.

I'm sneaking into the reception.

What reception?

I think it's called "Eternal Spring".

- Want to come?
- Eternal Spring...

What's the point of it? Huh?

- I want to talk to the Captain.
- Oh?

I want to build a beam-screen
outside the windows.

To escape the darkness.

You want to build a substitute for Mima.

A substitute for the substitute!

Excuse me. Got a minute?

It's about a beam-screen.
I'd like to build one.

- Instead of teaching?
IRV

It would display images, like Mima.

But outside the windows,
so we're shielded off from space.

- You don't grasp how serious this is.
- But I do.

We must think of future generations.

- Make a home for them here.
- Absolutely.

- I guess you want that too?
- Yes, and that's why...

Then nothing is more important
than the work you do.

The kids you teach, every little piece
of shit... are our best and brightest.

- Understand?
I

I just think...

You won't be allowed
to build your invention. OK?

No!

I don't want to...
l don't want to!

- I don't want to!
- You're doing great.

No!

One more push, Isagel, and it's over.

Give it all you've got. Come on!

Hello! Welcome, little buddy.

You're so big.

But you need to sleep.

- You don't need to keep feeding, right?
- No.

Look here... Now it's night.

Two children play in a field of wheat

Play with the thought that
they might with their eyes,

Walk high atop the spikes

Walking on water is hard...

Stop singing.

If you just let your eyes wander round

And allow you to turn
into a butterfly or a wind

You'll be able to go...

But then came Gopta through qwi.

Without this major discovery,
we wouldn't be where we are today.

Hello, Isagel!

- Here.
- How do I do it?

Where's Isagel?

- Tell me!
- She was called up to the bridge.

- How come?
- They've discovered a rescue ship.

We're being rescued?

- 14 arc-seconds. It's moving closer.
- 76 kps

- How fast was Samara supposed to go?
- Upwards of 73 kps.

What's going on?

I've discovered an anomaly
using one of the star deck telescopes.

It displays a clearly deviating
spectral signature.

It's not big enough to be a rescue ship.

It's about 100 metres long,
two metres wide. Linear.

Then it's probably a high-speed probe.

Containing fuel?

Is it big enough to contain fuel rods?

- Affirmative.
- Enough to turn the ship around?

- Yes.
- Yes!

That's amazing! How far off is it?

Fourteen months.

Dear passengers,

I'm happy to announce
that help is finally on the way.

An emergency fuel probe
ls headed our way,

and will be here in about a year's time.

Then we can restart the engines
and turn back home.

Tonight we have
every reason to celebrate.

YEAR 6

THE SPEAR

Let's go, A6. Full aperture.

Nice.

Focus, A2.

Rotate out.

Rotate out!

Damn it! What are you doing?

Want to be stuck here
for the rest of your lives?

Stop the simulation. You just shattered
the probe and tore a hole in the craft.

We're all dead. God help us.

We just need to keep practising.

And you're supposed to be our best?
Unbelievable!

Do it again! Goddamn it...

Look, It's your favourite Chebeba!

- It's not OK to be this late today.
- Sorry.

Want to say bye?

You'll see it grow bigger.
Soon you'll...

- What?
- No Swedish.

This is Captain Chefone.

We will soon begin docking,
SO we ask you to return to your cabins.

To slow down the probe,

artificial gravity levels may have
to be increased up to 7 or 9 g.

Ready for manual increase
in T-minus ten.

Magnetrons aport,
astern of frame 370 disengaged.

Three... two... one.

1.2 g in the stern.

Point-three...

Five.

Seven.

Deceleration achieved at 1.7 g.

Neutralizing gravity levels.

We're only getting a reading
on the cosmic radiation.

Listen up! Pack up our
analytical instruments, all of them.

- We need to report to Chefone now.
- OK.

You, too. Hey!

- We need to report to the Captain.
- Quiet, I'm busy.

- Hello!
- Leave her. She's more useful here.

Neither the initial spectral analysis

nor the goptic-STEM could determine
the elemental composition.

It's not necessarily an issue.

I mean, our method of measuring
may be out of date.

Maybe we shouldn't have said
it's a rescue probe?

Have you seen what
that information has done?

How motivated everyone has become.
We should've said it was coming

long before we even knew
it was coming.

So we're not ruling out
that it can contain fuel?

Absolutely not.

Probably the material itself
can be turned radioactive,

though we don't know exactly how.

But we'll find a solution.

What does the horse say?

No!

That's how the horse goes.
Want to go riding?

Maybe you'll be a jockey one day?
Who knows?

What does the horse say?

I don't know.

What does the horse say?

No...

- I need to get her home.
- Of course.

Hello? Time to go home?

How's his vocabulary coming?

Is he learning anything?
Has he mentioned spiral galaxies?

- Come on, let's go.
- No. Why?

We need to get to work
in a few hours. It's important!

It's a goddamn waste of time.

Hey! Do you believe in the probe?

Cut it out. You can't act like this
in public! Come!

Let's take a 20-minute break.

In any case,
this is a revolutionary discovery.

It's a miracle.
If only we could extract some data.

Did you say it was a miracle?

Don't you know that "miracle" and
"chance" come from the same source?

OK, that's great.

That thing showing up
has nothing to do with us.

It's chance. Devoid of any meaning.

- Damn it...
- Let's just stop right there!

Why don't you hit me?

What's this? What is this thing?

- You think it'll save you?
- Let go!

So hit me!

- Tell us what's going on.
- I don't know.

We demand you tell us!

- Back up! Back up!
- Why haven't we turned around yet?

Back up!

It wasn't even cranked up that high!

- I'm burning!
- Back up!

- I'm burning!
- Everybody back up!

What are you doing?

You'll be receiving an award
for your discovery tonight.

Award? So you're going to use it
as a prize?

You're not going to spread any fear.

Listen up!

We've all had high hopes for this object,

and until we have certainty,
we don't say anything.

The last thing we want is
for people to lose hope.

So tonight, I'll say everything
is going as planned.

And we'll need to present a united front.
Is that clear?

We're in a sarcophagus.

A coffin.
That's all we know with certainty.

- I won't have that tone.
- I won't have any hypocrisy.

You're not spreading any rumors
this time!

I knew that she wrote,
but not that she wrote poems.

We came from Earth, from Dorisland

The gem in our solar system

The only orb where life could grow

A land of milk and honey

Describe the landscapes we found there

The days which there dawned

Describe the man who sewed the garb
for the funeral of his spawn

Till God and Satan, hand in hand,

Through a ravaged, poisoned land

Took to hills, fled up and down

From man. a king with ashen crown

It was during autumn time...

Stones were glazed.

All that could burn turned to ash.

This is our punishment.

I'm living through my own funeral.

If you're going to scream,
you need to leave!

I'm off.

I don't want to live here.

Daisi, Daisi Doody.
Don't go!

Wait, I'm coming with you.
I want to dance!

Return immediately to your cabins
and fasten your seat belts.

I repeat.
Return to your cabins immediately.

Everyone buckle up!
Hurry up! Buckle up!

- Yes, I'm on it
- What's happening?

The bow shock is killing
all our equipment.

Run... birdie!

I'll handle this.

Isagel!

I'm so sorry.

She calls out to me.

Who?

She cries out to me,
but she calls me by another name.

Listen to me, Isagel.
You're high. But you'll come down.

Hi!

Make sure to gather sheets and clothes.

Careful now.

- Connect this with the focus-works.
- Sure.

Go play with your toys.

No, no, no!
You cannot play with that!

It's very dangerous.

I know, I'm sorry.

Don't be angry.

- I think you're very tired.
- Mummy!

We're going home.
It's looking great.

Want to do it yourself?
There.

- I'm on the verge of making it work.
- That's great. Congratulations.

What's wrong?

You're so talented.

At brushing my teeth?

The corners of your mouth...
l love how they point upward.

It's like you can't be sad.

I admire you. How you persevere.

Wait till you see the result.
I want you both to be proud of me.

Should I go with another image?

No, this one's great. Really.

- Really?
IRV

God, I don't know why I'm so nervous.

I want it to be a paradise.

Let us do it. Turn it on.

Yes!

Have you seen the image?
What do you think?

- It's nice.
- Isn't it?

I can change images too.

Isagel!

Isagel!

No...

No... No!

You asshole! You asshole!

Get up!

YEAR 10

THE JUBILEE

Punt and Tyrus.

Vinland and Da Gama.

NASA and Aniara.

We are pioneers who have gone
further into space than anyone before us.

That's worth a round of applause.

I would now like to hand out
an honorary medal.

May I ask you, MR,
to come up on stage?

MR is awarded the Aniara Honorary Medal
for her beam-screen,

which has helped us remember our origins

and transported us to glittering
waterfalls, wonderful pine forests,

and glorious summer meadows.

YEAR 24

THE SARCOPHAGUS

On Earth, I saw the light...

...with my skin.

The vision seared me.

In my skin,

I was blinded by a god.

Give us light.

Give us light. Give us light.
